Netflix subscribers will be able to stream La Brea on May 1, when all 30 episodes of the canceled NBC sci-fi series arrive on the platform. The La Brea cast led the show through three seasons after it first premiered on NBC in 2021.
La Brea centers on a group of survivors who must band together after a massive sinkhole opens in Los Angeles and drops them into a dangerous primeval land set around 10,000 B.C. NBC ended the series with a shortened six-episode third season, and the show wrapped in 2024.
The move gives the drama a new home after NBC canceled it following poor reviews, declining viewership in its second season, high production costs and industry-wide strikes. Its debut season drew a 29% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes, while the series averaged a 46% audience rating across all three seasons.
Netflix has been adding more NBC titles to its library in recent months, including Happy’s Place, St. Denis Medical and The Hunting Party. For La Brea, the streaming release is the first wide shot at a second life, and it comes with the whole run intact.
