Launching on 22nd December, the 5-minute webisodes will reveal what happened between the Series 3 finale and the start of Series 4, which begins on ITV1 on Saturday 1st January 2011.

After the disastrous mission to save Connor, Abby and Danny at the end of Series 3 failed, the ARC and its team faced massive upheaval. Viewers can see how the ARC was resurrected by new boss Philip Burton (Alexander Siddig), and how new team members, Matt and Jess, were selected. The webisodes also include a first look at the team’s new gadgets and the new ARC building.

The new Primeval website will also feature a range of other new content, including an interactive quiz, character profiles and a monster gallery.

Tim Haines, Creative Director of Impossible Pictures Ltd, comments: “We are delighted that ITV.com will be showing this unique content as it will not only help viewers connect the end of Series 3 with the start of Series 4, but it will also give our loyal fans 15 minutes of thrilling new visual material that will whet their appetites in advance of the start of the new series.”
