American Primeval has had a lot of time in the sun since its debut on January 9, spending most of the time since then at #1 on Netflix. At least in the US. Now, it’s been booted down to #2 for the second time, and not just by a night of WWE RAW.

American Primeval creator shares tantalising detail about season 2 of Netflix series - ‘That’s the way we’d go if we do it,’ creator Peter Berg said

Netflix’s “American Primeval” promises to show “America like never before.” But as fans of frontier stories know, there’s really nothing new under the Western sun.

There's a new update about American Primeval season 2 on Netflix that is rather surprising to hear for fans of the show.

Netflix’s American Primeval is grim and gory, but here’s why it’s a hit - COMMENT: With the western genre an increasingly difficult sell for audiences, the streamer’s gritty new series seems to have beaten the odds.

Jim Bridger, played by Shea Whigham, was a real life pioneer who built the town of Fort Bridger, which features in the series and was a real town. Brigham Young, played by Kim Coates, was also a real life figure. He was the head of the Mormon church at the time and had his own army known as the Nauvoo Legion.

With American Primeval Season 1 winding up recently, many are eager to know whether a Season 2 is planned. Created by Mark L. Smith, the Western series follows a mother and son, who leave behind the past and start anew with a new family.
