Primeval Four Going Digital?

May 28th, 2009 Posted in ITV, News, Primeval | one comment

The Guardian reports that series four of Primeval could be shown first on a digital channel.

Series four has yet to be confirmed and there’s speculation that ITV might be looking for ways to reduce the cost of the CGI laden show. One possibility might be a joint production venture with someone else, perhaps a digital broadcaster. According to the Guardian report Primeval’s production company, Impossible Pictures, have suggested that a digital channel might help finance the show in exchange for first broadcast rights.

Of the possible digital partners, Sky One has been ruled out as too much of a competitor to ITV. Instead attention is focussing on Sci Fi.

ITV refused to comment on the rumours, saying only that no decision as to the future of Primeval would be taken until after the current run ends.

  1. I really do think that Primeval sould bring out a 4th series because the ratings went up again for the last episode of series 3.

    If Primeval would bring back Nick Cutter and Stephen Hart for the 4th series there would be more ratings.

    But if Primeval cant I think it should bring out something that should finish it or make a tribute for it on TV.

    PLEASE DO SOMETHING!!!!!
