GENNDY TARTAKOVSKY ON PRIMAL SEASON 2
Genndy Tartakovsky is a massive name in the cartoon animation scene, having written and directed beloved shows like Dexter s’ Laboratory, Samurai Jack, and Star Wars: Clone Wars. He also co-directed Hotel Transylvania, Powerpuff Girls, and Batman: Animated Series. Unsurprisingly, another hit show in Primal was also his creation.
In an exclusive interview with Entertainment Weekly, the Emmy award-winning director, Genndy, was asked about the animation style, which is different from other series.Genndy replied,
I think what you’re speaking about is the process of sending something overseas. We were using a Korean studio on Dexter, Powerpuff, Samurai Jack, Clone Wars, and Sym-Bionic Titan. They did a great job, and we had amazing people there. But it is very inconsistent because it’s a big studio, and they have to do a lot. The whole structure of an overseas studio is built on mass, quantity, and speed.
Entertainment Weekly
Following his Emmy win for Primal, on 15th June 2022, Deadline revealed that Genndy Tartakovsky had signed an exclusive multiyear cross-studio overall deal with Cartoon Network Studios and Warner Bros Animation.
Genndy said,
My time at Cartoon Network Studios, since its inception, has been the most creatively formative and fulfilling years of my career. I am now continuing that amazing relationship and bringing in Warner Bros.

PRIMAL SEASON 2 PLOT
In the final episode of Primal season 2, “Slave of the Scorpion,” Fang and Spear meet Mira, a bald woman with a scorpion tattoo. The duo saves her from a Liopleurodon as she informs how her people slaved and she escaped.
Mira is kidnapped by a caveman who is later killed as she is taken away on a boat bearing the same scorpion tattoo on her head. The episode ends with Spear taking Mira s’ name as she is taken away.
Primal Season 2 will have a much more explorative theme, as cited by director Genndy, who says,
The introduction of Mira gives light that there is more civilization out there that’s more advanced. Once you get to ancient civilizations, you go instantly to, like, ‘Pharaohs,’ ‘Stargate,’ ‘10,0000 BC’, all those movies. I realized everything we were talking about felt too cliché to be done. So we broke everything down and restarted, and came up with a unique direction. It’s going to keep you on your toes, and basically, from [episode] 11 to 20, it’s one story. That’s the big difference from the first season.
Entertainment Weekly
Primal s’ biggest strength apart from the violence is the relationship between Fang and Spear. We expect the Man-Dino duo to have more tearjerker moments for the fans. Genndy Tartakovsky primal season 2 will undoubtedly delve into these two s relationships further.
Genndy also mentioned the new season would have moments that will have the fans either hate or love him. Genndy said,
It’s [Season 2] even more emotionally complex. The action is on a scale beyond what we’ve done, and it keeps getting excited as we go deeper and deeper into the season. There’s a shock in it. There’s a big surprise that will get people to hate me or enjoy it, but as a storyteller, this is me having fun. It’s super Heavy Metal–ish. It’s still pulpy, but at its core, the character story between Fang and Spear — goes bonkers. That was the best surprise of the first season. It wasn’t the violence — it was their relationship that people picked up on. As a filmmaker and storyteller, that’s what you’re most excited about.
Entertainment Weekly
Having a glance at the trailer also gives us some interesting insights into what can happen in Primal season 2. We see Spear and Fang on a raft chasing Mira kidnappers.
Exploring new land will most likely bring in new enemies for Spear and Fang. The trailer reveals a demon sitting on a throne which we haven’t seen before. Mira, also draws the same demon on the sand,
The stakes will be higher as Spear and Fang duo will face much stronger, smarter, and bigger enemies.
