ANCIENT ADVENTURES
Second season of ‘La Brea’ has been ordered for fall
You have questions. I have some answers.
Q: Last year I watched a show about a wormhole that suddenly appeared in downtown Los Angeles. Several people fell through and found themselves in another dimension. It ended abruptly. I cannot remember the name of that show. Can you help me?
A: That sounds like “La Brea,” the NBC drama in which people fell through a sinkhole into “a mysterious and dangerous primeval land.” The network has ordered a second season to premiere this fall. One place you can catch up with the 10 episodes in the first season is on Peacock.
Q: Recently I watched a Sundance Now series called “Ten Percent” featuring
Dominic West in an episode. Could this be an older, English version of the French series “Call My Agent”? If so, could you tell me what year West appeared in it originally?
A: You are correct about the similarity of the two series, but the sequence is different. “Ten Percent” is a new series and an English-language adaptation of “Call My Agent!” That French series about talent agents premiered in 2015 and has found a wide audience through Netflix. Variety reported a while back that there are numerous adaptations done or in the works in different countries, including Turkey, India, Canada, South Korea and the Philippines.
Q: Whatever happened with Season 2 of CBS’s “Blood and
Treasure”? COVID delayed filming but there has been no mention since of whether that was ever completed or was it scrapped totally?
A:
The drama will begin a second season on July 17, but TVLine has reported that it will be on streamer Paramount+ instead of the CBS broadcast network. Since the first season ended almost three years ago, you may want to catch up on the older episodes — on Paramount+.
