“One of the things that I think makes our show unique is that we like to answer the questions quick, faster than other shows might, and then pose new ones,” says La Brea creator David Appelbaum of NBC’s breakout sci-fi drama that wrapped up its time traveling first season tonight.

“So, all these mysteries that we’re talking about are things that we have some interesting answers for, and yeah, I don’t think we’re going to leave the audience frustrated like some other shows in this genre have before,” the co-showrunner added with a tease of what’s to come next.

APPELBAUM: 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?

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.

APPELBAUM: (LAUGHS) We don’t know where he’s gone?

APPELBAUM: 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.

We’re going to enter this building, and we’re going to understand why it’s here and what it’s being used for.

Are we going to see some new characters introduced in Season 2, some significant new characters.

Josh and Riley are going to be traveling to a new time period, we’re going to meet new characters within that time period.

So, definitely, we’re going to see new characters because one of the important things about the show is that we want to be expanding the possibilities of what it is, and that includes finding new people.

So, all these mysteries that we’re talking about are things that we have some interesting answers for, and yeah, I don’t think we’re going to leave the audience frustrated like some other shows in this genre have before.

APPELBAUM: It’s hard to know exactly how it affected the show day to day, but you know, one of the things I think that appeals to people about the show, is that it’s an escape ….

It’s hard to know if it’s had that effect, but you know, I think that’s definitely a possibility.

APPELBAUM: Yeah, it’s really exciting just to see the way that audiences have responded to the show.

APPELBAUM: So, I think, NBC and UniversalTV see that the show is working and they’ve been very supportive partners in the show, and honestly have really been on board with the vision of the show from the beginning

Luckily, they really trust in our storytelling, and have always given us a lot of freedom in terms of what these stories can be, and putting so much support behind it, and I think they’re going to continue to do that
