Zea was also with her La Brea costar Jack Martin who plays her son Josh Harris.
She stars as Eve Harris in NBC's massive new disaster series La Brea which saw its season finale last week.
She is happy about the new pace, even if it was physically exhausting.
'I made sure to get as good a shape as I could before I left for the shoot, knowing I would have to run a lot,' Zea told DailyMail.com in September.

'I did a lot of running, I mean a lot!' she added of the shoot in Melbourne, Australia earlier this year. 'I had to be in great shape.'
The former model is a fan of Pilates, yoga and weight lifting, she has said in the past.
On the first episode she had to run from the sinkhole under the La Brea tar pits in Los Angeles. And once she landed in a primeval time, she had to run from aggressive animals like dire wolves and saber tooth cats.
The synopsis: A massive sinkhole opens up in the middle of Los Angeles, separating a family between two worlds. The mother and son fall into an unexplainable primeval land alongside a group of strangers trying to figure out where they are, and how to get back home.
