With the help of their guide Isaac, the mother and son duo survive their ordeal, but are there plans to revisit this world?

Is American Primeval returning for season 2?
Netflix has yet to announce what the future holds for American Primeval, but it has been marketed as a miniseries, so it's unclear if there are even plans for more.
Speaking about if he'd like to revisit the story, director and executive producer Peter Berg told Decider: "After we wrapped and I looked at all the actors – the ones that were still alive – I felt such affection for them. And I do think there are many ways that we could go."
He added: "I've still got to thaw out from my time spent up on those mountains in the winter, but maybe if they got to lower ground, that wasn't quite as cold, we could. We could go back.
"As long as I don't have to have ice cleats again, I definitely will come back."
