After a lukewarm response to the first season, La Brea is all set to premiere its latest season on Tuesday, September 27, 2022, with new face Martin Sensmeier. The sci-fi series may have failed to impress critics with its rather scattered narrative, but it has successfully created a lot of mysteries for the new season to follow up on. The final episode of the previous season led the show on a completely different path, almost resembling Netflix's Dark.
With new plot developments, viewers will be introduced to an ancient group called The Exiles. Martin Sensmeier will portray the role of Taamet, the leader of this 10,000 B.C. group. This role will see him become a dangerous adversary to the survivors of the sinkhole, including the Harris family.
David Appelbaum will remain the showrunner for the new season and will receive a helping hand from Avi Nir, Alon Shtruzman, Peter Traugott, Rachel Kaplan, Chris Hollier, Adam Davidson, Bryan Wynbrandt, Steven Lilien, Ken Woodruff, and Arika Lisanne Mittman as executive producers.
Read on for more details about Martin Sensmeier and his role in La Brea ahead of the new season's premiere.
