We’re going to enter this building, and we’re going to understand why it’s here and what it’s being used for.ĪPPELBAUM: Well, I expect that audiences are going to come away tonight wanting to know that right away. Aldridge takes Scott to near the end and tells him that she built?ĪPPELBAUM: I don’t want to give away too much of it, but I will say that the audience will get answers very early in the season. So, you’re right, this is really at the heart, this journey about this family trying to reconnect with each other.ĭEADLINE: And the tower that Dr. And also the relationships that have formed as a result of the story. Now they’re separated in terms of time, but even at some point when they do get back together, they’ll be separated in terms of their emotion and the relationship factures that have existed before the story begins. So, we want to keep them separated as much as possible in this finale. One thing I will say is that he’s going to be in a new time period, one that the show hasn’t seen before, so it’s going to be opening up another world of possibilities.ĭEADLINE: But the Harris family is still the core, across time and possibly space?ĪPPELBAUM: One of the important driving stories of the show is how and if this family can be reunited. How will all this be brought together? Because the family has basically reunited, with the exception of Josh who’s now gone to 1988, or we don’t know, actually, where he’s gone.ĪPPELBAUM: (LAUGHS) We don’t know where he’s gone.

And at the same time, we now have Gavin and Izzy back in 10,000 BC in what is Washington State, trying to make their way down to California. I definitely think it has the potential for a long run.ĭEADLINE: So, we briefly see with Scott and Dr.

Personally, I think it’s the kind of show where we can keep expanding what the world is. But, we haven’t really tried to pin ourselves down to a specific number of seasons to get there.

You know, with Josh and Riley going through the light, revealing the building, the death of Marybeth, and Gavin, and Izzy coming down the sinkhole, we’re really trying to set up these new potentials for Season 2, and putting people on new journeys, to reveal some new mysteries.ĭEADLINE: One season in, one more at least to go, do you have a landing for La Brea when the time comes?ĪPPELBAUM: We do have in mind an endpoint and have a lot of important signposts along the way to get there. The EP touched on escape, big swings, Australia, new characters, as well as where things could go next year, or not.ĭEADLINE: You really went old school network large with Topanga, packing a lot into one hour with the paint on your renewal almost still fresh, didn’t you?ĪPPELBAUM: Well, one of the things we really wanted to do with the finale was set up a lot of cliffhangers and possibilities for Season 2. In that vein, Appelbaum chatted with me about the Adam Davidson directed finale he penned. 'La Brea' Boss Teases Season 2 Will 'Put Characters In Different Worlds'Īnd that says a lot for show that focuses on a mother (Zea) and son (Martin) separated by over 11,000 years from the estranged father (Macken) and daughter (Gorecki) after a massive sinkhole opens up at Los Angeles’ famed tar pits.
