"Primal" News & Discussion Thread

Any news on an HBO Max release?

None at the moment, unfortunately.

According to the press release, season 2 will be on HBO Max in July but they haven't announced the exact premiere date yet.

Okay, I'm still on the fence of whether to subscribe to Sling or HBO Max to watch Primal and which I'll pick probably depends on if HBO Max can get Housing Complex C too. Fena took six months to get on HBO Max and Shenmue still isn't there. Maybe not being a Crunchyroll co-production could speed things up so Housing Complex C will also be on HBO Max. On the other hand, Harley Quinn is going to be on HBO Max but not Adult Swim proper. I definitely am excited for Primal, but which platform to watch it on will be a choice to mull over.

The Hollywood Reporterreports there will be a panel for the show at the San Diego Comic-Con.

As mentioned in this thread, it'll probably be the week of.

How did you manage to post this when the forum was down?

 

[RoyalRubble]

A minor point, the crew working on season 3.

Nice to see the crew back together .

 

[PicardMan]

Almost forgot about season three considering how long it's been since season two ended. Still not used to the "one season every three years" model of modern cartoons. Hard to keep hyped for them compared to back when they came back every year.

 

[Yojimbo]

I'm trying to remember - we know close to zip about what season 3 is right? Just that line in the teaser "Something has entered the blood, like a whisper of unnamed evil" and some comments from Genndy saying it might be an anthology like that mansion episode?
