NBC sinkhole mystery pilot La Brea has added Chicago PD's Jon Seda. Natalie Zea, Michael Raymond-James, and Caleb Ruminer are currently attached.

Variety is reporting that Chicago PD star Jon Seda has signed on to NBC sinkhole mystery pilot La Brea.

From David Applebaum (The Enemy Within), La Brea centers on a Los Angeles torn apart by the sudden emergence of a massive sinkhole and chronicles the journey of a family separated by the phenomena. With one half finding themselves in an unexplainable primeval world alongside a disparate group of strangers, all four members of the family will have to work that much harder to survive, uncover the reason for the sinkhole, and find a way home. If there even is one.

Seda will play Dr. Benjamin Glass, a former Navy Seal who knows how to take charge.

La Brea is one of six drama pilots in contention at NBC for 2020-21, joining Ordinary Joe, which follows the three parallel lives of its protagonist after he makes a major life choice; Langdon, based on the Dan Brown Angels & Demons novel series; body swapping procedural Echo; space mystery Debris; and At That Age, a family drama following the aftermath of a Black family’s golden child suffering a catastrophic event.

In addition to his role on the NBC cop drama, Seda’s television credits include The Pacific, Treme, and The Closer. He joins a cast that includes Natalie Zea, Michael Raymond-James, Caleb Ruminer, Angel Parker, Catherine Dent, Veronica St. Clair, Jag Bal, and Chike Okonkwo.
