BBC Maerica annouced today that network plans to air three new sci-fi shows later this year - with one of them being the return of Primeval, which will be airing a whole new season. Primeval, if you've never seen it, is about evolutionary zoologist Nick Cutter (Douglas Henshall) and his quest to protect humanity from rampaging dinosaurs and other uglies as "anomalies are ripping holes in the fabric of time, allowing creatures to roam the modern world."

The second series is called Survivors, which is a "chilling new apocalyptic drama." And what is it that's wiped out humanity this time around? A mega-virus, of course. It doesn't sound like there will be any mutants, or albino vamps in this one since Survivors will actually focus on the remaining few humans on Earth and their struggles to just…survive. "At the center of the story is a bewildered but resilient group of survivors led by Abby Grant (Julie Graham), a woman whose strength comes from a burning need to find out if her young son is still alive."

The third series is Being Human, which takes a more humorous look at the world of famed movie monsters. Described as "witty" and "farcical," Human will follow three twenty-somethings who lead secret double lives as a werewolf, a vampire and a ghost. "The trio do their best to live their lives as normally as possible, despite their strange and dark secrets."
