That last fight was probably the first time they took the fight to them and not just trying to survive. That fight with the Viking is gonna be
Yeah, I just finished watching The Red Mist. That entire episode was fire. So much carnage! The dinosaur went down a couple of times, I thought it might not make it.
Next episode, you can tell that Viking is gonna be problem. I like how they showed the fire in his eyes as they sent that burning burial ship away. When the Viking and the Caveman meet it's going to be epic!
I think it will happen in the 6th episode. That episodes title is "Vidarr" which is after In Norse mythology, Víðarr (Old Norse: [ˈwiːðɑrː], possibly "wide ruler",[1] sometimes anglicized as Vidar /ˈviːdɑːr/, Vithar, Vidarr, and Vitharr) is a god among the Æsir associated with vengeance
Those English crackers were getting got in that last ep!
Man this fight........
We know Spear and Fang have to win or else the series ends. However, the fight is going to be epic! Maybe Spear will win but lose a limb. Or, I can see Mira dying. The latter is the most likely outcome: She's too soft, I can't see her surviving in Spear's world long-term anyway.
Well damn.......did not expect that episode to go down like that. Mira just as hard.
That Viking isn't done
That's one evil MF
However, in a recent interview with Collider, Tartakovsky explained why he ultimately changed course during Season 3’s development, choosing to return the series’ focus to Spear and Fang instead of pursuing the anthology format.
Said Tartakovsky, “At the end of Season 2, I talked about Primal becoming an anthology. So, it’s going to be different characters, different everything, just following the core idea of Primal, which is not a lot of dialogue. It’s visual storytelling. It’s visceral. It’s raw. After developing for a little bit, I realized I missed Spear, and I spent 20 episodes having the public love him and having the audience really like the relationship with him and Fang. And then an idea sparked that I could do more, and Spear became a zombie.”
Speaking on Spear becoming a zombie, Tartakovsky added, “I feel like there’s a lot of new and there are a lot of established zombie things. I’m not a horror guy, right? I actually don’t watch horror films. I don’t like to be scared, so it was funny for me to do Primal as a show anyway, because there are a lot of, I call them more thriller-type feels, right? It’s more of a thriller, dramatic, emotional show than just the scares. So, this is kind of following that same rule. There are zombie movies that I like, you know, World War Z, I like The Last of Us, all that stuff, but I think we established our own rules, while at the same time, not breaking all the laws that we kind of associate with zombies.”

The teaser trailer makes it clear that despite Spear’s shocking return as a zombie, Primal Season 3 isn’t straying from what made the series a standout. Fans can still expect the same raw, unflinching violence, minimalist storytelling, and immersive, award-winning sound design that define Genndy Tartakovsky’s prehistoric epic.
Though Tartakovsky has kept most story details under wraps, he did reveal that Spear and Fang’s offspring will appear in the new season and play a pivotal role in the upcoming season.
