It's been a year and a half since Space and Bell Media cancelled Primeval: New World, the Canadian spin-off to the British sci-fi show, Primeval. After that, I spent a year hopping Syfy would pick it up after its US run, but nothing's happened since.

Now, if I'm not mistaken, Netflix has their own original content on their VOD service. Some of their shows are previously cancelled shows that they revived such as Arrested Development, Star Wars: The Clone Wars, The Killing, and Canada's own Trailer Park Boys. At one point, they were interested in picking up Terra Nova.

It’s been three years since Watch cancelled Primeval. I’ve heard of the show after watching the trailer on the DVD copy of Roland Emmerich’s 10, 000 B.C. but the first time I actually watched it was on YouTube, when I saw the clip of the Gorgonopsid vs Future Predator fight scene and it blew my mind completely. A few months later, I found out there was a Primeval marathon happening on Space. After it ended, there was a trailer to New World, and I waited until after the summer for the premier. I’ve watched every episode on Space. It was my favorite show since Fox cancelled Terra Nova. That Christmas, I got all five seasons of the original series on DVD. Two months after New World was cancelled, I got the complete series on Blu-ray, which completed my collection. I watch the whole show at my cottage with my family and they actually liked it

If Netflix were to revive the shows, this could finally lift us from the weight of the cliffhangers they ended off on. Matt Anderson’s future self-telling him to “go back”. Evan Cross and Dylan Weir running to the closing anomaly back to their home time period, as the other anomalies start closing around them one-by-one. What did they change? What happened in the future? Are these events somehow linked? Could this lead to what could be a potential crossover in the form of a television movie or a two-part mini-series? Yeah. Primeval: Continuum. Sounds sick.

Also, it can give Netflix their own-shared universe, like Marvel. Netflix won’t have to air the shows in the United Kingdom. In the UK, the shows cold premier on ITV and be repeated on Watch (rather than the other way around), and outside the UK, they would be labeled as “Netflix Original”.

Those who are reading this, please sign this petition so Impossible Pictures, Omni Film Productions and Bell Media find a home for Primeval and Primeval: New World at Netflix. The best VOD service in history and the guys who put Blockbusters out of business.

They should revive the show, with the new technology for visual effects it would be great. And if the promos for the show is done correctly it can be a success for the platform.

Would love to see the series get a revival on Netflix, but only with the original cast from the first season. Cutter, Stephen, Abby and Connor are the ones that MADE the series. The show went downhill when they killed off Stephen and Cutter.

I remember the British public all being so intrigued and captivated by this scientific masterpiece. A reboot with the right writing and casting and directing could make it as successful if not more so, than the doctor who reboot.

This is in my opinion the best TV franchise ever. I just want it back or to end without it on a cliffhanger for once.

If there would be a new season of Primeval, I would like the producers speak the ARC's origins, because this top secret government agency appears like that, in nowhere, in these series

I want they would be animatronics in the series and not only creatures in 3D. And I want that the crew of the Framestore's studio do the creatures of thje new season of Primeval
