What to expect from NBC’s La Brea

29 September, 2021 by PashaO
La Brea tv series

NBC’s La Brea is set to premiere this month. So, what can we expect from this new series that has been likened to Terra Nova and Primeval?

The premise of the series is this:

When a massive sinkhole mysteriously opens in Los Angeles, it tears a family in half, separating mother and son from father and daughter. When part of the family find themselves in an unexplainable primaeval world, alongside a disparate group of strangers, they must work to survive and uncover the mystery of where they are and if there is a way back home.
