City Primeval is a crime novel written by Elmore Leonard.

A limited television series adaptation of the novel, Justified: City Primeval, was released in 2023. The story was repurposed as a spinoff of the TV series Justified and features Raylan Givens (Timothy Olyphant) instead of the novel's protagonist, Raymond Cruz. [1] However, Cruz is included as a minor character, portrayed by Paul Calderón who reprises his role from another adaptation of a novel written by Leonard, Out of Sight (1998).
