The trailer begins with blurbs for “Primal” season 1, and then we see some glimpses of season 2 action. Since the cuts are quick and “Primal” is (with the exception of some Neanderthal grunts by lead voice actor Aaron LaPlante) mostly dialogue-free, it’s not always easy to parse what is going on in this trailer. We see Spear fighting other cave men and taking some arrows in the back while Fang gets slashed by claws. There are images of them at sea — shots of them on a raft, on a boat, and evading a Megalodon underwater — and we also see a couple of thrones, one of which is occupied by a huge fire demon.

It looks like civilization is creeping in more and season 2 will pick up right where “Slave of the Scorpion,” the finale of “Primal” season 1, left off, with Spear and Fang’s new ally, Mira (Laetitia Eido-Mollon) being carried off on a boat.

“Primal” season 1 was an epic, animated affair. Following other groundbreaking TV series to grace the Adult Swim late-night block, “Primal” makes best use of its medium while pushing the envelope further. This daring, creative approach paid off: “Primal” has a near-perfect Rotten Tomatoes score, with critics in agreement about the show’s compelling content. Sure, there are a few audience outliers who disagree — but the vast majority appears to appreciate the raw, instinctual energy on display with this series. 

Based on the trailer, it looks like fans can expect more of the same excellently animated, exciting content out of season 2.
