Julia Roberts won’t be returning, but she will still be supporting the show by being the executive producer. In season one, we got to see Roberts’ character Heidi Bergman, who works at Homecoming Transitional Support Center, a special center which helps soldiers who had gone through traumatic experiences while fighting wars return to their normal lives. Later, she leaves the facility and works as a waitress. But she realises that the facility has some ulterior motive when she gets interviewed by the U.S. Department of Defence.
She find out later that the facility uses a specific drug to erase the memories of the soldiers instead of treating their PTSD.
