La Brea renewed for season 2 by NBC

If you’ve become a fan of NBC’s disaster drama La Brea, then you’ll be pleased to know that the network has renewed the series for season 2.

La Brea revolves around a massive sinkhole that opens in the middle of Los Angeles. Hundreds of people, including Eve Harris (Natalie Zea) and her son, fall into the hole and find themselves in a mysterious and dangerous primeval land. They must work together to survive and uncover the mystery of where they are and if they’re able to find a way home. Meanwhile, Eve’s husband and daughter try to solve their own mysteries and reunite their family. Although the series hasn’t received the best reviews, it has done well in the ratings department, particularly on the Peacock streaming series where it became the best launch of an NBC show on the platform.

Speaking of bad reviews, it’s clear that our own Alex Maidy was not a fan of La Brea. “For all its ambition, La Brea is one of the weakest pilots I have seen in years,” Maidy wrote in his review. “The special effects are bad, the characters cliche, and the dialogue painful. By the time the end credits rolled, there was enough plot to pique my interest to find out what will come next, but not enough for me to subject myself to any subsequent episodes.” Thankfully, the lovely Natalie Zea proved to be the lone exception for Maidy when it came to the “truly mediocre” acting, but it’s probably safe to say that he won’t be back for La Brea season 2. If you’ve watched La Brea, what are your thoughts on the series and will you be returning for season 2?
