Genndy Tartatovsky has experimented with silent cartoons in the past, like with Samurai Jack, for example.
Tartatovsky's latest, Primal, was a 10 part series that premiered on [adult swim] in October 2019, with the first 5 chapters shown nightly for a week. Then, Chumptoon Network made viewers wait a year before the final 5 aired. When a moron like Rob Sorcher is among the executive producers, that spells trouble.
Tartatovsky takes us back to caveman times, though his protagonist, for lack of better description, looks like he was descended from Vincent Hamlin's comic strip hero, Alley Oop----if Alley were drawn by Sal Buscema.
The protagonist, Spear, so named for the weapon he carries, loses his family in the first chapter, his wife & children eaten by dinosaurs. That scene, however, is not included in this sample clip:
