Spoilers follow for Primal!
Genndy Tartakovsky, the creator of such classics of animation as Dexter’s Laboratory, Samurai Jack, and Star Wars: Clone Wars, is back with Primal Season 3, which is both a continuation and a reset for his caveman-and-dinosaur epic.
We spoke with the animator about his decision to bring back main character Spear (Aaron LaPlante) — despite his being killed off at the end of Season 2. What did it take to make a show about a zombified version of Spear? And how much of our beloved caveman is still lurking inside that desiccated, hulking corpse? Watch the video to hear Tartakovsky’s thoughts.
We also discuss what happened to Fang (Joel Valentine), the T-rex who became Spear’s best friend, and whether or not she might return this season. Plus, whatever happened to the anthology version of Primal that was supposed to serve as Season 3? We’ve got all that and more, so watch the full interview!
