The British science fiction series Primeval originally aired on ITV in the UK.
Original Broadcast Home
Primeval first premiered and was broadcast on ITV, a major British television channel. This channel served as the primary platform for the show's initial run, introducing audiences to its unique blend of time-traveling creatures and adventure. ITV was the network where the series garnered its initial fanbase and established its presence in the UK television landscape.
International and Revival Airings
While ITV was its original home, Primeval's global appeal and a subsequent "cost-sharing deal" allowed for its broadcast on several other channels internationally and during its later revival phases. These partnerships were crucial in funding the show's continuation and expanding its reach to a wider, global audience.
Channels involved in the broadcast and revival of Primeval include:
- ITV: Original UK broadcast.
- Watch: A British digital television channel (now known as Dave Ja Vu), which was part of the cost-sharing deal for the show's revival.
- ProSieben: A German television channel that also contributed to the cost-sharing deal.
- BBC America: The American digital cable and satellite television network, which was a key partner in bringing Primeval to audiences in the United States as part of the revival agreement.
