La Brea final season watch guide: How and when to watch the final episodes

The final season of La Brea is almost upon us in just a few hours, and it's hard to believe this is the beginning of the end! The third and final season of the sci-fi drama premieres tonight, Jan. 9, 2024. While the show is a popular one amongst fans, it seems that declining viewership numbers and delays caused by the writers and actors strikes factored into the decision of bringing it to an end.

Even though it's bittersweet, at least we're getting a conclusion to our favorite series! I hate it when networks and streamers cancel a show on a cliffhanger and us fans don't get a resolution after tuning in week after week. Thankfully, that's not the case with this drama, and I'm pumped to see what comes next in La Brea season 3! Scroll down for all the details on how and when to watch the new season.

La Brea season 3 episode release schedule

La Brea season 3 premieres tonight, Jan. 9, 2024 on NBC. This season is a total of six episodes. This is a much shorter season compared to the first which had 10, and season 2 which was 14 episodes. It doesn't seem like much to wrap up such an action-packed story, but I have faith in the creative team!

One episode will be released weekly on Tuesday nights on the network until the series finale on Feb. 13, 2024. We shared a breakdown of the episode release schedule to help you follow along the next few weeks, as well as the release time by time zones for you below:

We provided a breakdown of all these options below:

How to watch on streaming

If none of the options above sound appealing or you happen to miss an episode live, don't worry! New episodes of La Brea season 3 will stream on Peacock the next day an episode airs. Usually the streamer adds new installments to its catalog at around 6 a.m. ET. So that means new episodes will be available to stream on Wednesday mornings.
