Following reports in today's Sun indicating that ITV series Primeval has been cancelled, the series's co-creator Adrian Hodges contacted Total Sci-Fi to refute the story.

"There are reports in the national press this morning that Primeval has been cancelled. This is absolutely not the case. Impossible Pictures have been in regular contact with ITV and all the indications are that provided ratings remain strong we will return for a fourth series.

"As of this moment no final decision has been taken - as we knew it wouldn't be - but we are very confident about the future of the show. ITV always said they would look at the recommission at some point towards the end of the run or later and that remains absolutely the position."

Primeval continues this Saturday on ITV1.
