Debuting in 2019, Primal features a Neanderthal man and female Tyrannosaurus who form a bond when a horde of rampaging dinos devour their respective families.
It’s a fantastical premise, brooding and full of visceral action. Season 1 saw Spear and Fang fight tooth-and-claw against titanic snakes, bats, and a giant flesh-eating Argentinosaurus before befriending the mysterious Mira (Laëtitia Eïdo). She was later kidnapped by ape-men and vanished over the ocean in the series finale.
Now our heroes will try to rescue Mira in an adventure that sees them separated in unknown lands, brought into conflict with different civilizations, and Spear standing at the altar of some towering, mythological demon.
Don’t miss the next instalment of this incredible animation. Read our guide below, which will explain how to watch Primal season 2 online now from anywhere.
