Adult Swim gives the following synopsis for Primal:
“Combining artistry, emotion and flat out action, Genndy Tartakovsky’s Primal follows the tale of a caveman at the dawn of evolution as he forms an unlikely friendship with an almost extinct dinosaur. The series comes from Genndy Tartakovsky, the visionary creator behind the Emmy® award-winning series Samurai Jack.
With suspense, heartbreak, excitement, love and fear all without a single word of dialogue, the series is a painting come to life, relying solely on music and graphic imagery to tell the story of two unlikely allies as they navigate through a treacherous world. After bonding over unfortunate tragedies, they seem to become each other’s only hope of survival against a common enemy.
Genndy Tartakovsky’s Primal was created by Genndy Tartakovsky (Dexter’s Laboratory, Samurai Jack) with art direction from Scott Wills (The Ren & Stimpy Show, Samurai Jack), music composition from Tyler Bates (Guardians of the Galaxy, Samurai Jack) and voice talent provided by Aaron LaPlante (Digimon Adventure tri, Samurai Jack)”
Primal premiered on Adult Swim on October 7, 2019 with the first five episodes of the first season, with the 2nd half premiering almost a year later on October 4, 2020. Primal Season 1 consists of a total of 10 episodes.
