American Primeval creator shares tantalising detail about season 2 of Netflix series - ‘That’s the way we’d go if we do it,’ creator Peter Berg said

American Primeval has had a lot of time in the sun since its debut on January 9, spending most of the time since then at #1 on Netflix. At least in the US. Now, it’s been booted down to #2 for the second time, and not just by a night of WWE RAW.

Netflix’s “American Primeval” promises to show “America like never before.” But as fans of frontier stories know, there’s really nothing new under the Western sun.

There's a new update about American Primeval season 2 on Netflix that is rather surprising to hear for fans of the show.

Jim Bridger, played by Shea Whigham, was a real life pioneer who built the town of Fort Bridger, which features in the series and was a real town. Brigham Young, played by Kim Coates, was also a real life figure. He was the head of the Mormon church at the time and had his own army known as the Nauvoo Legion.

A new Netflix series breaks "with the historical record in ways that may bemuse the average viewer but will likely displease any Latter-day Saints," a New York Times reviewer says.
