Tartakovsky: “Primal” Season 3 Is ‘A New Level’

“Primal” series creator Genndy Tartakovsky has offered some new details on the long overdue return of the prehistoric animated series.

The multiple Emmy-winning series wrapped its second season in 2022 and things have been quiet ever since beyond news of the third season going into production in 2023.

Now, speaking to Collider at Annency, the “Samurai Jack” creator confirmed that the new run of “Primal” is coming sometime next year. He indicates that while San Diego Comic-Con next month will be too early to do anything, New York Comic-Con in October will likely kick off the show’s promotional campaign.

Talking about the new season, he says:

“It’s a new level. Everything that we did in the first season, we upped a bit in the second season, and the third season is even more. I can’t say anything without giving everything away, but it’s just more, and it’s shocking, and it’s unstoppable. At some point, you’re like, ‘I can’t believe I’m watching this.’

Quality-wise, animation-wise, story-wise, emotionally, I don’t want to oversell it, but rarely have I been proud of a project like this. At the end of the day, we’ll have these 30 episodes, and thinking back to Dexter and Powerpuff Girls and even Samurai Jack, how much our quality wavered just because of the process and everything, this is just so solid. And to have 30 solid, incredible [episodes] for a modest budget, I’m really proud of it.”

As previously reported, the new season will move away from Spear and Fang’s story in favor of an anthology format featuring an entirely new cast of characters.
