“I’m beside myself right now,” said lead voice actor Aaron LaPlante in a statement to Deadline. “I love this show so much, being a part of it, and working with Genndy Tartakovsky. Congrats to everyone who makes this art happen.”

Primal features a caveman at the dawn of evolution. A dinosaur on the brink of extinction. Bonded by tragedy, this unlikely friendship becomes the only hope of survival in a violent, primordial world.
