Primeval series 4 & 5 to have more crashing beasts to terrorise you!

After months of not hearing anything, there's finally a bit of news on the very highly anticipated upcoming series 4&5 of Primeval!

In fact, the last time I talked about Primeval was in July, when I made a post as complete as I could about all that was known about the series at the time so far (which you can read here).

According to producer Tim Bradley, who spoke to SFX's Red Alert, since most of the main characters becane stuck in the Mesozoic era:

Alexander Siddig Opens up About 'Star Trek: Deep Space Nine' and Joining 'Primeval'

I recently came across a great interview with the wonderful Alexander Siddig (Syriana, Cairo Time) who played Doctor Julian Bashir on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine for seven seasons from January 1993 to June 1999.

In May 2010, Alexander Siddig talked to UGO about what it was like after the series ended:

First Picture of the New Primeval Cast!

Filming for season four of Primeval has recently wrapped and here is the first picture showing some new cast members and some returning ones.

From left to right we have Abby (Returning - Hannah Spearritt), Connor (Returning - Andrew-Lee Potts), new field leader Matt (New - Ciarán McMenamin), Becker (Returning - Ben Mansfield) and Jess (New - Ruth Kearney).

They are also to be joined by former Star Trek: Deep Space Nine veteran Alexander Siddig, in the role of scientist Philip Burton.

Primeval is a UK Sci-Fi series that airs on ITV. It was cancelled in June 2009 but renewed in a startling move the following September of that year for two more series. It aired on BBC America in the US and on Space in Canada.

The cast is now currently filming series 5.

Series 4 is set to air in January 2011 on ITV1 and will be comprised of 7 episodes while series 5 will have 6.

Former Star Trek: Deep Space Nine actor Alexander Siddig has apparently been tapped to join ITV's Sci-Fi hit show Primeval.

Primeval is a British Sci-Fi series in the veins of Torchwood and Doctor Who and ITV is a rival network to the BBC. It will air in 2011.

Siddig will play the role of Phillip Burton, a scientist who becomes the new part-owner of the ARC. What is the ARC you ask me? It's the Anomaly Research Center. You can go here to read all about Primeval. [Nice Girls Watch TV] [SidCity]
