PRIMORDIAL DEEP

Press Kit

INTRODUCTION

 

Title: Primordial Deep

 

What is it?

Primordial Deep is an ongoing, long form audio-drama podcast. Now, what on earth does all of that MEAN? When you think "audio drama podcast," what you're getting is essentially the same as a classic radio play, in the style of War of the Worlds or the original Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy -- a story being told through the power of voice and sound.

​

Primordial Deep is a science fiction adventure, with elements of horror (like Alien, Jurassic Park, or Sphere), set on a research station deep under the ocean. The first season comprises of seven full length episodes, approximately 45 minutes each, and takes place in the expanded universe of Janus Descending – though you do not need to have listened to one to understand the other. The story starts when a number of previously extinct prehistoric sea- creatures begin mysteriously reappearing in the waterways. Something is stirring out on the abyssal plains, and trapped 20,000 feet below the surface, one team of explorers must face the phenomena and uncover the mysteries of the reawakened ancients of the deep – or die trying.

SUMMARY

​

Primordial Deep is science fiction action/thriller, set in the expanded universe of Janus Descending. When a long extinct sea creature washes up on the shores of Coney Island, marine biologist Dr. Marella Morgan is contacted by a secret organization to investigate the origins of the creature’s sudden and unnatural resurgence. Soon, she and a team of explorers find themselves living on the research station The Tiamat, traveling along the abyssal plains as they search for answers far below the waves. But there are dangers in these ancient waters. Reawakened prehistoric monsters are rising from the deep -- jaws wide and waiting, and in the darkness, something is stirring.
