Posted on by

Creepy Duck Design is a fan of The Mist and is also looking forward to Frank Flanagan’s version.  Here’s a cool tribute poster to the reboot.

“Now listen people. We are experiencing some kind of disaster. I don’t know whether it’s man-made or natural, but I do know that it’s definitely not supernatural. Or biblical. And no offense Mrs. Carmody, but the only way we’re going to help ourselves is to seek rescue. We’re going out.” – Brent Norton

After the events in Sisu, Aatami Korpi returns to his homeland to retrieve the lumber he used to build the home where Russians murdered his wife and children.  Korpi plans to rebuild the house in a new land.

Primal: Season 3 (2026)

Tagline: None.

The Plot…

After a devastating attack on Mira’s village, a shaman uses mystical powers to reanimate Spear.  Now a zombie, Spear wanders the jungle having adventures.

Will Spear ever find peace?

Thoughts (beware of spoilers)…

Genndy Tartakovsky is the creative force behind Primal.  Season 3 surprisingly brings back Spear as a zombie.  I wasn’t a fan of this.  While I did like the final episode’s resolution,  this season, for me, fell far short of the previous two.

Primal: Season 3 (2026) earns 3 of 5 stars.
