If you've ever driven in LA you might expect to see a pothole or two (or three or four...) but when a massive sinkhole opens up and leads to another world, well, that's something you don't see every day. The ongoing story of the people who were sucked into that sinkhole, and those who were left behind, is the focus of La Brea.

After the events in La Brea season 2, fans have been wondering what will happen next and thankfully there will be a whole new season to get those answers.

La Brea season 3 will be the final season of the series, so expect that the story will wrap up in the truncated 6-episode season.

Here's everything we know about La Brea season 3.

La Brea season 3 release date

La Brea season 3 will premiere Tuesday, January 16, at 9 pm ET/PT on NBC. Here's information about the episode:

La Brea season 3 plot

It's too early to know what's coming on La Brea in season 3, but creator David Applebaum said in a December interview with TV Insider that he was working on a plan for the third season. "We have a lot of ideas for where the show could go moving forward," he said. "I've had ideas for season 3 for a long time, but we're starting to map them out."

In the meantime, here's the official NBC synopsis of La Brea season 2:

"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 2, 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 LA."
