Primeval: New World's Niall Matter & Danny Rahim

What this episode covers

After building up a cult following in the U.K. and around the world, the ITV series Primeval has received a North American spinoff, courtesy of original producers Impossible Pictures and Canadian outfit Omni Film Productions. Commissioned by Bell Media-owned SPACE and represented worldwide by Entertainment One Television International, Primeval: New World has notched up slots with broadcasters across the globe, including in the U.S. with Syfy and the U.K. with Watch. With a cast that includes Eureka alum Niall Matter as software engineer Evan Cross and British actor Danny Rahim as firearms expert Mac Rendell, the series promises a darker, edgier take on the original, chronicling a team that investigates creatures, and people, that make their way into present day through so-called “anomalies,” which act as portals through time. Matter and Rahim tell World Screen about their characters, the challenges of working with green-screen technology in the special-effects-heavy series, and share their thoughts on how both old and new fans will respond to the world of Primeval.
