Primal Season 3: HBO Max’s Hit Show with 100% Rotten Tomatoes Score

The popular Adult Swim series Primal has returned for a third season and is currently topping the charts on HBO Max. Created by Genndy Tartakovsky, the mind behind Dexter’s Laboratory and Samurai Jack, Primal first aired in 2019 and quickly earned widespread critical praise, becoming one of Tartakovsky’s most celebrated works.

Primal is a stunning animated series about an unlikely friendship between a caveman and a dinosaur as they struggle to survive in the prehistoric world. It’s a unique mix of action, adventure, horror, and fantasy, and what really sets it apart – even among other great adult animated shows – is its almost complete lack of dialogue. Now in its third season, Primal continues to be a hit and is actually becoming even more popular.

Primal Is As Good As Ever In Season 3

Critics absolutely love Primal. It’s one of the very few shows to earn a perfect 100% ‘Fresh’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and incredibly, all three seasons have maintained that perfect score. This means reviewers consistently praise the show’s quality, which is a remarkable achievement in the current streaming world.

The second season of Primal ended with Spear making the ultimate sacrifice to save Mira, but he returns as a zombie in season 3 – a season that’s already being praised for its bold and innovative approach. Season 3 has really taken risks, immediately separating Spear and Fang at the start. While it’s still early on, this new installment promises to be a thrilling and unpredictable ride.

As of today, season 3 of Primal is the second most popular show on HBO Max, according to data from Flix Patrol. It’s only behind season 2 of The Pitt, which launched on January 8th. This is a huge achievement for an animated series, particularly since The Pitt is HBO Max’s biggest hit – its first season won many awards, including Emmys and Golden Globes.

When New Episodes Of Primal Release On HBO Max

Because Primal airs on Adult Swim, new episodes aren’t released all at once like shows on streaming services. Season 3 started on Adult Swim on Sunday, January 11th, and became available on Max the next day.

New episodes of Primal season 3 will continue to air every Sunday at 11:30 PM on Adult Swim, with each episode becoming available on HBO Max the next day, Monday. Given its strong start on HBO Max’s top 10 list, season 3 could be the show’s most popular season so far.
