Leave the World Behind centers on a couple (Julia Roberts and Ethan Hawke) trying to enjoy a family vacation in  Long Island when two strangers (Mahershala Ali and Myha’la) mysteriously show up at their house in the midst of a mysterious blackout.

They’re trying to escape a cyberattack that grows more terrifying by the minute, forcing everyone to come to terms with their places in a collapsing world. The film’s supporting cast also includes Farrah Mackenzie, Charlie Evans, and Kevin Bacon.

This psychological thriller was written and directed by Sam Esmail, and it’s based on Rumaan Alam’s book of the same name. Esmail serves as one of the film’s producers alongside Roberts, who previously starred in his Amazon show Homecoming.

Leave the World Behind will open this year’s AFI Fest on October 25, and we won’t have to wait too long to see it in theatres. It’s getting a limited theatrical release on November 22, and it will become available on Netflix from December 8.

Starring as lead in the first season was Julia Roberts, who initially signed on for one year only. She returns as one of the series’ executive producers. 

The Hidden Figures and Moonlight star’s character is described as a tenacious woman who finds herself floating in a canoe, with no memory of how she got there or who she is.

The psychological drama was created by Mr. Robot creator Sam Esmail. The first season focused on Heidi Bergman (Roberts), a caseworker at the Homecoming Transitional Support Center, a facility helping soldiers transition back to civilian life.

Homecoming starts shooting later this year.

According to The Hollywood Reporter‘s sources, Julia Roberts is definitely done with starring in the show, but she will remain involved as an executive producer. It remains unclear whether more cast members will make an exit before the second season starts filming.

Homecoming, which was based on the podcast of the same name created by Eli Horowitz and Micah Bloomberg, premiered on November 2nd, 2018, on Amazon Video, and quickly captured the attention of both the audience and the critics.

The story of the first season revolved around Heidi Bergman, a former worker at Homecoming Transitional Support Center, a facility that helps soldiers transition to civilian life. After leaving the center, Bergman starts building a new life, but her past comes to haunt her soon enough.

When Amazon picked up the project in 2017, the company immediately ordered two seasons of the show. Still, Julia Roberts has been refusing to comment whether she will appear in season two, and now we know why.

It is expected that the new episodes will move away from the original story and the source material, but we could see some other cast members making their return including Stephan James, Bobby Cannavale, Shea Whigham, Alex Karpovsky and Sissy Spacek.
