Adult Swim’s Primal Renewed For Third Season

Adult Swim’s Primal Renewed For Third Season

, , 9

The entertainment industry isn’t in great shape these days, but as long as we keep giving Genndy Tartakovsky whatever he wants, there will always be a bright spot. He and Adult Swim have been great partners of late, producing top-quality content like Unicorn: Warriors Eternal, the final season of Samurai Jack and the two existing seasons of Primal. And the hits will keep on coming: Adult Swim announced today a third season of Primal is now in production. “It’s happening! Primal has become a contagious disease that I don’t ever want to cure,” said Tartakovsky. “Every episode flows out like an unstoppable force beyond my control. Prepare yourselves Primal fans for Season 3 is coming!” Primal is about a caveman (Spear) and a dinosaur (Fang) who partner up and explore a world that seems to be a mixture of ancient timelines. If you’ve seen every episode including the finale, then you might be wondering how a Season 3 is even possible. Spoilers follow. Season 2 appeared to be the end

Did you see last week’s Primal? Did you see the last few Primals? If not, why not? The season finale is tonight, but it’ll make little sense unless you’ve seen the last few. And it’s not too late for that — they’re streamable anywhere. Don’t miss such a cool show. The back half of this season has told one continuous story, and it’s wrapping up…there’s only one immediate threat left, but it’s a big one. The Viking chieftain from an earlier episode is on a mission of revenge, transformed by a god of the underworld into a gigantic lava man! We have absolutely no idea how Spear and Fang have any hope of confronting this guy — they can’t even touch him. The preview below provides no hints either, instead revealing a bit of Mira’s backstory (which is still interesting). Primal airs tonight, Thursday, September 15 at 12 AM ET/PT. If you miss this showing, you can catch the same episode when it reruns on Toonami Saturday night at 12

Last week’s episode of Primal was too short. The back half of this season seems to be telling one complete story, with caveman Spear and dinosaur Fang in the clutches of a cruel queen who she orders to help her conquer other civilizations, or if they’re not worth conquering, to simply beat them down. It doesn’t matter if the opposing forces want peace or war — SHE wants war and that’s the end of it. And while Spear and Fang are dealing with HER, there’s the impending matter of the Viking chieftain out for revenge, who will catch up with them eventually. Primal airs tonight, Thursday, September 8 at 12 AM ET/PT. If you miss this showing, you can catch the same episode when it reruns on Toonami Saturday night at 12 AM ET/PT. And it will be on HBO Max the next day, as far as we know. Then, this Sunday at 11 PM, check out a brand-new Rick And Morty called “Rick: A Mort Well Lived.” The titles

This is the big one…this week marks the return of what’s currently THE show on Adult Swim. And yes, it’s this weekend. By now you may have grown accustomed to waiting a year and a half (or longer) for new seasons of Rick And Morty to show up, but according to the staff, they’ve streamlined the process so that a new season each year is now a guarantee. Thus the Season Six premiere of Rick And Morty will occur precisely one year from where it last aired a new episode: September 4, 2022 at midnight. So what have we got? This episode is called “Solaricks!” and exact details about it haven’t been given. AS provided a generic season encapsulation instead: “It’s season six and Rick and Morty are back! Pick up where we left them, worse for wear and down on their luck. Will they manage to bounce back for more adventures? Or will they get swept up in an ocean of piss! Who knows?! Piss! Family! Intrigue! A bunch

This is one of the better weekends to be tuning into Adult Swim: a new episode of Primal tonight plus on Sunday, double the birdness with a one-hour Tuca & Bertie season finale. Last week on Primal, Fang (the dinosaur) actually laid some eggs! Given what kind of brutal show this is we don’t expect all of them to hatch, nor the offspring to survive for long if they do. But Spear (the caveman) has his own problems to worry about…those vikings he offended (by killing most of them) worship a powerful figure that may come after him now. Primal airs tonight, Thursday, August 25 at 12 AM ET/PT. If you miss this showing, you can catch the same episode when it reruns on Toonami Saturday night at 12 AM ET/PT. And it will be on HBO Max the next day…we think. Then on Sunday don’t miss Tuca & Bertie (really, really don’t miss it, because it needs the ratings to appease an overlord far more fickle than the one

We had no idea if Primal would be back this week and it……..IS back! We’re forging ahead with Episode 6; there will not be a break in the middle like Season 1 had. It would have made for a strange break anyway — last week’s episode (which Genndy wouldn’t allow a preview for) was quite a departure, focusing on four British men in the 1890s fending off an escaped asylum patient. No, really — go watch the episode if you don’t believe us. We’re having a hard time believing it ourselves. But Spear and Fang are back this week and that Viking chief who vowed vengeance on them will be back as well. Primal airs tonight, Thursday, August 18 at 12 AM ET/PT. If you miss this showing, you can catch the same episode when it reruns on Toonami Saturday night at 12 AM ET/PT. And of course it will be on HBO Max the next day (but, ah, don’t take anything on HBO Max for granted anymore). Then later,

This week’s Adult Swim premieres are the same deal as the last few weeks — Primal on Thursday (AKA today), Tuca & Bertie on Sunday. We have no idea if tonight’s episode of Primal is the midseason finale. The previous two times the show has run, it’s been in five-episode bites with a year or so between them. This is the fifth episode, but AS hasn’t used the words “season finale” or “midseason finale” or anything, so we have no idea if there’s more Primal next week or a repeat. What we do know is….nothing, because we can’t see it. Literally, AS can’t show anything from tonight’s episode because their contract with Genndy gives him control over what appears in the promos. (That must be a nice contract to have!) And apparently anything would be a big spoiler. The show left off with what had to be the most violent thing AS has ever aired with Spear and Fang at war against an entire Viking clan. They managed to win,

As we stare down the barrel of doom in regards to Adult Swim and everything else under the Warner Bros umbrella, let’s take the time to appreciate what we have, while we have it. And what we have is darn good: new episodes of Primal and Tuca & Bertie. The new Primal episode premieres tonight at midnight. Even if it survives the Purge unscathed, Primal seasons are super-short, divided in half and served up five episodes apiece. We’re on Episode 4 this week, if you haven’t been counting. And as with the previous weeks, AS did not provide an episode description for what happens tonight, but there IS a video clip. The events of tonight’s episode directly follow last week’s episode, and Spear’s attempts to rescue his new friend Mira from a clan of Viking warriors called the Scorpions. Primal airs tonight, Thursday, August 4 at 12 AM ET/PT. If you miss this showing, you can catch the same episode when it reruns on Toonami Saturday night at 12 AM

The Adult Swim premieres for this week are as good as they get! Primal and Tuca & Bertie are both top-quality programs. Don’t miss either of ’em and give them your full support so that we get more! There was no official episode description for Primal last week, and there isn’t one this week either, so I take it there will never be any hints beyond the episode clips AS posts online. All we know is that Spear (the caveman) finds a bunch of cave paintings, and looks shocked, even though you’d think he would have seen that kind of thing before. Primal airs tonight, Thursday, July 28 at 12 AM ET/PT. If you miss this showing, you can catch the same episode when it reruns on Toonami Saturday night at 12 AM ET/PT. And of course it will be on HBO Max the next day, which you might want to leave running even if you already saw it on AS, as streaming numbers mean a lot these days. A

So ordinarily we post these Adult Swim premiere articles when the weekend starts. Why are we doing this one now? Because AS is starting BEFORE the weekend this week. One of the coolest shows they’ve ever produced, Genndy Tartakovsky’s Primal, premieres its second season TONIGHT. Primal is Tartakovsky at his Tartakovskiest. It’s a nearly dialogue-free cartoon about a caveman and a T-Rex teaming up to help each other survive in a primitive world — it takes the vibe of Samurai Jack and takes it to another level. Adult Swim provided no description of what happens in tonight’s episode, but that’s probably for the better….you want to go into these cold. Primal returns tonight, Thursday, July 21 at 12 AM ET/PT. If you miss this showing, you can catch the same episode when it reruns on Toonami Saturday night at 12 AM ET/PT. And of course it will be on HBO Max the next day, which you might want to leave running even if you already saw it on AS, as

Believe It Or Not, Primal Is Up For An Oscar

Believe It Or Not, Primal Is Up For An Oscar

As a big fan of Genndy Tartakovsky’s work, Primal is the kind of project I’ve always wanted to see from him. The man is a master of animation timing, with a special flair for dramatic fight scenes. So when a new series was announced that was nothing BUT these scenes, you better believe I was at my couch at midnight October 5. And Primal didn’t disappoint. The wordless action sequences were some of the best moments in Samurai Jack or Star Wars: Clone Wars, and now that all that pesky dialogue has been eliminated completely, Genndy can do what he does best: communicate paragraphs through a glance, establish high tension with staging alone. Primal is delicious, if a bit more harsh and brutal than what we’re used to seeing from him. If Primal loses next year’s Emmy in favor of the ten billionth Simpsons episode, it’ll be a huge injustice. But it actually has a shot at an Oscar. How is that even possible? Because Adult Swim threw together two
