Funny this popped up... I was looking at one of our TV/DVD catalogs, and found this mentioned.

It's storyline almost reminds me of Warehouse 13, with the various adventures. I'm eager to see this, considering the creators are the same ones who did the "Walking with..." Series. I absolutely loved the work they did on those, so I'm gonna have to do a little exploring...

Hells yes. More Abby Maitland is good.

New Years Day! New Years Day!!! Primeval returns New Years Day on BBC America!!

New Year’s Day marks a new beginning for acclaimed sci-fi series Primeval, when it premieres in the U.S. on BBC AMERICA, the same day as its UK broadcast. Returning to screens thanks to a unique international collaboration, including new co-producer BBC AMERICA, the series delivers ambitious adventures and opens the franchise to new audiences. From the creators of Walking With Dinosaurs and Survivors, Primeval sees the arrival of new faces and headquarters, along with the surprise return of some notable guest stars from earlier seasons. Primeval premieres Saturday, January 1, 9:00pm ET/PT.

When rips in time called anomalies started opening across the UK, dangerous creatures from the past and future began appearing in the most unexpected places, endangering lives and putting the whole of humanity at risk. A crack team of specialists were appointed by the government to deal with these “creature incursions.” This job has proven deadly for multiple team members and threats continue to escalate.

Ciarán McMenamin (Jericho, Demons), Alexander Siddig (Clash of the Titans, 24, Syriana, Star Trek: Deep Space Nine) and young Irish actress Ruth Kearney join the team at the Anomaly Research Center (ARC) after the government loses faith in Home Office official Lester’s (Ben Miller) ability to run such a dangerous and expensive operation on his own. The anomaly operation is now a public/private partnership, part-owned by the government, and partly by charismatic scientist Philip Burton (Siddig).

With Connor (Andrew-Lee Potts, Alice), Abby (Hannah Spearritt) and Danny (Jason Flemyng, X-Men: First Class, Snatch) trapped in the past at the end of season three, the ARC has found new recruits to take their place: Matt (McMenamin), the new field leader, who’s more than just an ex-soldier. He’s a zoologist, with an uncanny ability to understand animals. A private man, Matt carefully guards the secrets of his past and the real reason he joined the team. Unconventional Jess (Kearney) now runs operations from the ARC Control Centre. She is highly efficient and her work ethic is second to none, though she is human enough to nurse an unrequited crush on Captain Becker (Ben Mansfield).

The new season picks up approximately one year after the last season ended – Abby and Connor finally escape from the Cretaceous period, only to be followed by a giant Spinosaurus, the largest of all known carnivorous dinosaurs. A new ARC team springs into action, leaving Abby and Connor’s place within the team in jeopardy while their former leader Danny is still missing.

......No.... Primeval is a UK series about portals to the past and future opening up and a group of folks trying to figure out why and chasing dinosaurs and future creatures in the process.

I tried to get into this show, but never got past the second episode. Meh.

I'm in the same boat.

The entirety of the series right now is on Netflix instant...and I found it to be boring as all get out. Maybe it won't be so lame when it comes back?

Primeval was never cancelled. It had problems (season 3 was evident of that), but season 4 has been filmed and 5 is currentley filming.

I've heard that Sarah will sadly be bumped off from the show.

Good move to set the new season a year after the events of 3. Being trapped in the past, could make or break Abby, Connor and Danny.

Hm, weird... this is the only British scifi-y type show that I've seen that hasn't bored me to oblivion.

Yea, same here. However, that season 4 preview actually looked pretty good, so maybe I'll give it another shot. The CGI has certainly improved, that's for sure.

Shame Sarah has been bumped off. She was top totty!

Not long to go this end of the globe. Abby's hair grew really long stuck in the past whilst Connor's did'nt.

I really hope this show picks up again. There is a lot of potential there.

Awesome! I've been eagerly awaiting this one!! The spin-off was created by Sci/fi (Star Trek mostly) writers Judith and Garfield Reeves-Stevens who are also writers on the show. Amanda Tapping is one of the directors. And yeah the show is being filmed in Vancouver.

I like the idea of Andrew Lee Potts appearing as a bridge between the 2 shows. He won't be in long tho and is just helping them set up their base and such.

It's soo weird to see Niall Matter in this! I kept on thinking "Oh so THAT's what Zane's up to now..."
