Natalie Zea (The Detour, Justified) will lead the cast of NBC’s high-concept drama pilot La Brea, from writer David Appelbaum, Keshet Studios and Universal Television.
In La Brea, written by Appelbaum and directed by Thor Freudenthal, when a massive sinkhole mysteriously opens in Los Angeles, it tears a family in half, separating mother (Zea) and son from father (Michael Raymond-James) and daughter (Zyra Gorecki). When part of the family find themselves in an unexplainable primeval 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.
