Primeval: New World
A Canadian spin-off from UK’s Primeval, Primeval: New World will follow in the footsteps of it’s predecessor, with a team of scientists tracking various animals from the past and future though anomalies in time. The new show plans to be dark and scarier in tone than the family friendly original, although there maybe some familiar faces cropping up from time to time…

I felt like New World was really good, especially as you got along later in the series. The beginning was decent, but in the end I could really feel the characters being fleshed out. Especially the fact that they had an episode with no actual anomaly, and it was all focused on the human characters. It’s a shame they didn’t renew it because of “low ratings.”
Come to think of it, maybe it wouldn’t have had low ratings if the series had aired in the Canada, the U.S., and in the U.K. at the same time. I wonder how many people watched it online before it was released in the U.S. who weren’t counted?
Both uk and the canadian spin-off are amazing but the uk verison can’t be beat. The canadian verison plot line isnt the best but is cool to watch. I love this series.
I liked this series, hope they will revisit this and the UK version, perhaps with the two governments working together on occasions. it really makes a change to have TV shows based in places not in USA. even the fact that neither versions of primeval have gone to the obvious animals like T-Rex’s running around. the UK went with the Gorganopsid and canada with the Albertasaur, both animals that are relatily unknown to anyone that has no intret in extinct animals.
I was just starting to enjoy Primeval New World – especially as the UK version is now gone. Wish they had given this another chance – as the characters were growing on me. Shame !
I do somewhat agree. It had potential, but it was somewhat squandered by throwing all the old stuff out. I’d have like to see more interaction with the original show, so they could jump in feet first with some of the more advanced tech, rather than them having to figure out guns and tech themselves… Treated it more like a Stargate: Atlantis to Stargate SG:1, than an almost entirely independent show… Shame really.
