When NBC’s La Brea season two finally returns from its long winter break it will be with an episode that finds Josh missing. While the rest of the group, except for Levi who remained behind, jumped into a sinkhole, Josh apparently either didn’t make the leap or was taken by someone as soon as he landed.

Season two episode eight, “Stampede,” will air at 9pm on January 31, 2023 followed by episode nine, “Murder in the Clearing,” at 10pm ET/PT.

Natalie Zea stars as Eve Harris, Eoin Macken plays Gavin Harris, Jon Seda is Dr. Samuel Velez, Nicholas Gonzalez plays Levi Delgado, Josh McKenzie is Lucas, and Zyra Gorecki stars as Izzy Harris. Jack Martin plays Josh Harris, Veronica St. Clair is Riley Velez, Chiké Okonkwo is Ty Coleman, Rohan Mirchandaney is Scott Israni, Tonantzin Carmelo is Paara, Lily Santiago plays Veronica Castillo, and Michelle Vergara Moore stars as Ella Jones.

“Stampede” Plot: The Harrises return to 10,000 BC, determined to upload a virus that will stop all sinkholes, despite knowing that this will mean they will never get home again. An unlikely leader rallies the Clearing to face an oncoming prehistoric threat.

The Season 2 Plot:

La Brea follows an epic family adventure after a massive sinkhole opens in Los Angeles pulling people and buildings into a mysterious and dangerous primeval land where they have no choice but to band together to survive. In season two, the Harris family remains separated as Eve is reeling from her son, Josh, having mistakenly gone through a portal to 1988. What she doesn’t know yet is that her estranged husband, Gavin, and their daughter, Izzy, have landed in prehistoric Seattle and now must brave the elements and animals to make their way to L.A.
