Wiki.

Primal (also known as Genndy Tartakovsky's Primal) is an American adult animated action horror television series created and directed by Genndy Tartakovsky for Cartoon Network's night-time programming block, Adult Swim. It is the first combined action/sci-fi/horror animated series from Cartoon Network Studios and Williams Street.

Primal is set in an anachronistic vision of prehistory, portraying extinct dinosaurs, Ice Age mammals, and early hominids all coexisting with post-metallurgy Homo sapiens in a single time period, incorporating many elements of science fiction, fantasy, horror, action, and adventure. The first 2 seasons revolve around the journey of Spear (Aaron LaPlante), a Neanderthal, and Fang, a uniquely intelligent female Tyrannosaurus rex, both of whom lose their families early on and decide to join forces to survive their unforgiving environment together, eventually discovering developed civilizations that they end up in conflict with. The series has no dialogue throughout its first season, before incorporating minimal dialogue in the second season, in line with Tartakovsky's previous work.

The first 10-episode season of Primal was split into two 5-episode parts. The series premiered on Adult Swim on October 8, 2019, with the remaining episodes releasing daily that same week. The second half of the season premiered one episode April 1, 2020, with the remaining episodes premiering weekly for the five weeks following October 4, 2020. In August 2020, the series was renewed for a 10-episode second season, which premiered July 22 and concluded September 16, 2022. Following the second-season finale and conclusion of Spear and Fang's storyline, Tartakovsky confirmed that Primal would become an anthology series from its forthcoming third season onward. In June 2023, the series was renewed for a 10-episode third season.

Primal has received widespread critical acclaim, with much praise for its animation, storytelling, music, emotional depth, horror elements, and editing. The show has won three Outstanding Individual Achievement in Animation Juried Awards from the Emmy for Storyboard Artist (Genndy Tartakovsky), Art Director (Scott Wills), and Character Designer (Stephen DeStefano).
