Primeval Season 5 – BBC America

Primeval fans rejoice if you have not lived under a rock you probably are aware that BBC America will be airing the premier of season 5 November 12 at 9 PM eastern 8 PM central. Episode 1 plot summary from BBC America Primeval web page is thus:
A deadly burrowing creature brings chaos to a city, forcing the team to chase it around town as they track its underground movements. While attempting to target its nest, things suddenly go terribly wrong and one of the team becomes its next potential victim.

If you really want a spoiler there is a Wiki for Primeval that has the full plot summary among all the episodes that will be aired after. You got to love the distribution delay of the Brits to America and most likely visa-versa on some of the American shows. Anyway the cast is altered a bit since season four. Basically the same players minus a couple and adding Janice Byrne (see below for season 5 cast). Also looks like this is a 6 show series (see below for episodes). I am counting on them (episodes) being aired every week with no interruptions to that time slot. But I could be wrong. So far I have no official schedule to post to the blog. but when I get it I will update this post with a link to a new post or the schedule web page.

Episode 1 – Connor Temple is dragged underground by a vicious insect.
