BBC America snap up Primeval

Wednesday, 27 February 2008
ITV1 action-adventure sci-fi series Primeval has been bought by BBC America, which will air the first two seasons (a total of 13 episodes) in August.

BBCA President Gareth Ancier commented on the latest purchase for the channel, which also airs Robin Hood and Torchwood in the States, saying:

"Primeval is a perfect addition to our successful Saturday night menu of sci-fi and adventure. We think our audience will be excited by the addition of this prehistoric thriller -- one of the latest big hits from the U.K."
