The creator of “La Brea”, David Appelbaum, revealed the main novelty of the second season of the series, which broke the audience record of “Tela Quente” in Brazil and became Globoplay’s most followed international attraction. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, he said that part of the next few episodes will take place in the year 1988.
“The next season will continue to focus on the storyline lived in 10,000 BC,” said Appelbaum. “However, we will no longer be in the Los Angeles of today. Instead, we will tell the story of the 1988 Los Angeles.”
The showrunner hopes this change will help revitalize the attraction. “I think this will add a new level of fun and introduce a new web of intrigue to the episodes. It will be something that will surprise audiences.”
The reference to 1988 concerns the end of the inaugural season, when a portal for this period opens into the past and the characters Josh (Jack Martin), Riley (Veronica St. Clair) and Lilly (Chloe De Los Santos) disappear inside.
In addition, the new episodes will see Izzy (Zyra Gorecki) arrive in the prehistoric world, but in a distant place, in what is now Seattle. Her arrival also opens up new adventures in the plot.
“Basically, the show is about a divided family trying to reconcile. We want to bring the same spirit into the second season, but in a whole new context,” he explained, alluding to how the plot will be told, with the characters scattered across the story. time and space.
“The story is a gripping journey of action and adventure, but it’s also vital to create a deeply emotional storyline,” he continued. “Finding that balance was one of the main goals when we designed Season 2.”
“La Brea” is the first series created by David Appelbaum (writer-writer of “The Mentalist” and “NCIS: New Orleans”). Launched in September last year in the United States, it also became one of the biggest previews of the American television season, as well as breaking the Peacock platform’s audience record.
But despite the positive reaction, which earned him a quick renewal for a second season, his blend of catastrophic storyline with the classic Jules Verne / Edgar Rice Burroughs adventure was not critical, only garnering 38% approval on Rotten Tomatoes. .
The plot begins with the opening of a giant hole in Los Angeles, which swallows several people. But instead of dying, the victims of the catastrophe will end up in the center of the Earth with prehistoric creatures – or so they imagine, before realizing clues to the true secret of that place.
At the same time, on the surface, a father and daughter struggle to find the rest of their family, dragged into the hole, and discover that this isn’t the first time this phenomenon has occurred. In their search, they end up finding a way to travel to the place where their loved ones ended up.
