Sasha Urban editor SPOILER ALERT: This piece contains spoilers for “The Next Day,” the Season 2 premiere of “La Brea,” which premiered Tuesday, Sept.
27 on NBC. Season 2 of “La Brea” has now started, but the events of last year’s pilot episode of NBC’s hit drama series — about a time portal sinkhole that appears in the middle of Los Angeles — could have taken up an entire season of the show.
Eve Harris (Natalie Zea) and her son, Josh (Jack Martin), are separated from the rest of their family when they fall in, and appear in Los Angeles circa 10,000 B.C., alongside a cast of characters also trying to find their way back to the present.
The twists that follow are too numerous to name: Josh’s father, Gavin (Eoin Macken), learns the visions that plagued his career as a pilot were actually memories of that primeval land; a team of shady scientists has been running experiments on the sinkhole(s) for years; and multiple portals open and close throughout Season 1, with Josh and others being transported to 1988 Los Angeles in the finale episode.
