Plot Synopsis

GENNDY TARTAKOVSKY'S PRIMAL is an animated series that follows the tale of a caveman, Spear, at the dawn of evolution as he forms an unlikely friendship with an almost extinct dinosaur -- a T-Rex named Fang. 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. A new half-hour episode of PRIMAL debuted on Adult Swim at Midnight nightly (Mon-Fri), from October 7-11. Almost one year later, GENNDY TARTAKOVSKY'S PRIMAL returned with new episodes on Sunday, October 4, 2020 at 11:30pm ET/PT on adult swim. In the mid-season premiere, "Scent of Prey," it's the dawn of evolution, where a caveman and a dinosaur on the brink of extinction bond over unfortunate tragedies and become each other's only hope of survival in a treacherous world.

GENNDY TARTAKOVSKY'S PRIMAL returned for its 10-episode second season on Thursday, July 21, 2022 at 11:59pm ET/PT, as adult swim debuted back-to-back new half-hour episodes. Filled with suspense, heartbreak, excitement, love and fear, all with almost no 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. In Season 2, Spear and Fang journey to a new world to rescue Mira from her captors, only to find a place filled with savage brutality.
