As time passes with little news on the release of the latter half of season one-I feel more and more concerned. Midway through 2020 and still no news. Seems odd to me. Almost as if the popularity of the first five episodes may have had an impact on the production of the latter five. Maybe a lack of patients is making me fret unnecessarily.

Given everything that's going on, don't get too worked up over the delays. Covid19 has thrown a wrench in many gears.

Episode six came out last night! Watched it just now. Fantastic episode. No point in me writing what I liked about it. Go watch it for yourselfs! From what I can tell, the entire series can be watched on Adultswim's website for free-so there is no good reason to not be watching this cartoon.
If you live outside the states(as I do)use a vpn, works without a hitch.
Edit: I am not entirely sure why all the episodes are watchable without a service provider. But at the moment for me they seem to be. Which is strange, because before I was only able to watch the first one on their website.

Okay, I am super late with updating this thread! Episode ten, the last episode of season 1 aired months ago! It ends with a very interesting cliff hanger that raises some questions and leaves a plethora of ideas for season two to explore. overall, I give season 1 a nine outta ten. I am subtracting one score point because two or three episodes where weaker than the rest. The weak ones are the ones that have les visceral emotion, relaying less on the bond between the two protagonists and there interactions. The zombie episode is the weakest of the bunch in my opinion. It has shock value and some crazy imager, but that's about it.
The blu ray for season 1 has recently been released, I bought a copy off of Ebay.
Season two has been offical announced and will start airing in October this year.

Okay, I'm late to the party. I hadn't seen any of it until I picked up the blu-ray. Um. Wow.
The show is from the creator of Samurai Jack, PowerPuff Girls, Dexter’s Lab, Star Wars Clone Wars and more. This might catch your attention, for better or worse, but you have to understand that Primal rises head, shoulders and midriff over those shows. It’s adult, intense and, frankly, freaking awesome.
These are 20 minute doses of pulp-fueled, dialogue-free storytelling featuring a caveman and his T Rex companion battling an outrageous array of dinosaurs and less classifiable monsters against a strikingly beautiful and endlessly inventive set of prehistoric landscapes. The character animation is stylized but effective and the backgrounds are colorful, epic and transparently display how the show runner was inspired, as he said in an interview, by “the covers of 1970’s fantasy paperbacks”.
The first couple episodes establish the heroes bond and act as a kind of proof that the creators can tell an involving, even emotional, story in a cartoon with no dialogue about a caveman and his dinosaur friend. For me it was in the fourth and fifth episode that Primal attained a level of pure pulp majesty. The action becomes outrageous, with over-the-top violence and battles that attain a Howardian glory. Episode six, where the caveman strives to protect his gravely wounded comrade from a horde of tittering jackals, might be the coolest cartoon I've ever seen. I hear a second season will arrive in October. Sure hope so.

Considering that season two will be releasing in October of this year, it is fair to assume that a trailer may drop soon.
I got my copy of the bluray a couple of days ago. This is the only bonus feature on the bluray:

The gore in episode five was nostalgic for me in an odd way, it reminded me of staying up late when I was a kid watching Cartoon Network(or some other cartoon channel) and I'd stumble upon a more adult oriented cartoon that would have a scene of disturbing gore that would leave my child's mind disturbed. The level of gore in episode five would be unsettling even for an adult(which I am) if it were featured in a live action series or film.

Really like this show. To me, the most sword & sorcery episode was Ep. 08 - Coven of the Damned. Weird monster, weird alien magic, and human sacrifice, all included. But, the ending kind of unsettled me... (spoilers below, decode at rot13.com/)Yhyn'f qnhtugre, jub fur zbhearq guebhtubhg rcvfbqr, naq jnf fb fngvfsvrq gb or erhavgrq jvgu va gur nsgreyvsr... jnfa'g gur qnhtugre znqr bhg bs n fgbyra fbhy, gur cebqhpg bs uhzna fnpevsvpr? Gung xvaq bs gnvagrq gur jubyr vqrn bs n wblshy erhavba gb zr. Still, that was a REALLY good example of a REALLY good show; definite recommendation to S&S fans. Future speculation: Picking up from cliffhanger, Spear & Fang will find some sort of decadent civilization that they'll come into conflict with... I could easily see it mirroring the 2008 film 10,000 BC, where a primitive hunter gets entangled with an ancient city led by a god-king... -Mick.

Here is an interview with Genndy shining a little bit of light on season two: www.polygon.com/interviews/22642789/primal-season-2-genndy-tartakovsky-animation-emmysWhat little information is given in the interview makes it seem that season two may lean more toward sword and sorcery than season one. Which is what I imagined happening after seeing the ending of the first season. And it is a direction I am very glad the season is taking.

So it seems pretty obvious that season two will not be releasing this year. Next year most likely.

Season 2 will be releasing this month. And a short trailer dropped.
I get heavy Robert E Howard vibes from this. Are those Picts?
