Damon Lindelof, the creator of the TV series Lost, has always been drawn to supernatural storytelling. As he explains to Fresh Air's Terry Gross, he is particularly interested 'real-world stories where the supernatural can and often does occur.' 'The question that has fascinated me the most — and I'm sure I'm not alone in this — is what happens when you die?' Lindelof says.

'I think that the storytelling that I'm interested in is really talking about death and loss and grief.' Death, loss and grief are all central themes in Lindelof's HBO series, The Leftovers. Now in its second season, the show is based on a by Tom Perrotta, which tells the story of those left behind after 140 million people mysteriously disappear from Earth in an event known as the 'Great Departure.' Perrotta, who co-created the show and who joins Lindelof for the interview, describes the Departure as an 'earth-shattering event,' which leaves the characters scrambling for answers that they may never learn.
