Primeval to return for series three

ITV1's popular time-travel drama Primeval is set to return to our screens with an extended 10-episode run.

Jason Flemyng (Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels) and Laila Rouass (Footballers' Wives) join the cast including Douglas Henshall and Hannah Spearritt as the anomalies continue to present an unrelenting series of threats.

Still reeling from Stephen's death in series two and with the depth of Helen's betrayal now revealed, events get even wilder but it's not just the creatures that Cutter and the team have to contend with.

The cloak of secrecy behind which they have been working is beginning to slip as deadlier creatures continue to rampage through the anomalies and questions are being asked as the conspiracy spreads its net wide.

Co-creator Tim Haines said: "I'm delighted that Primeval is back and its extended run of 10 episodes demonstrates not only a confidence at ITV, but a real desire from the fans to see more of Cutter and the team in action."

Prepare for more explosive action as Primeval bares its newly sharpened teeth soon.
