The twist is the new Canadian series, Primeval: New World, will be structured as a Canada-UK co-production, and will use characters and story-lines from the British Primeval series, while inserting new Canadian characters and story-lines into the local version.
“This is a truly unique opportunity, building a parallel, yet independent series that will appeal to existing fans and new audiences,” Corrie Coe, senior vp of independent production at Bell Media, which ordered the 13 one hour Primeval: New World drama for its Space channel.
“This new Canadian series offers a fresh world of possibilities in terms of characters and stories, while including some favourite elements from the original U.K. Primeval,” she added.

Darn it I don't get the Space Channel. Well not here in America yet. I will have to keep a look out because I did love the original.
ReplyDeleteI'm excited but I wonder if this means there won't be any more of the original UK version. I love primeval and I hope this does well, but I want more of the original too.
ReplyDeletethe big ? is when does the US get a shot at watchin it? im super interested.
ReplyDeleteI don't think the show needs a spin off tbh =\
ReplyDeleteNeither do I but the original series is kind of in limbo right now. As long as this doesn't mean no more main-series Primeval I'll give it a fair shot.
ReplyDeleteBravo to the producers of Primeval for their tenacity. These people have a Dick Wolf-esque commitment to their franchise.
