You can check the clip out above.
“In the last one, we tried to challenge Burt by having his son appear out of nowhere: a blood relative he didn’t even know existed, and who presumably wants to get to know him,” Gross told ComicBook.com. “So the great challenge for Burt was how does a loner let somebody else into their life? How does a loner allow any room for anyone else to coexist with them? That’s the challenge I wanted to throw in front of Burt. In the latest one, the whole idea was, how does a man who so wants control deal with ceding that control to someone else? How does a man come to grips with his own mortality? I wanted to take him, his next challenge to beyond graboids to, what if he’s threatened in a big way that he’s never threatened before? It’s not so much the threat of death, but the threat of loss of control. Can he do that gracefully? Does he do it ungracefully? Let’s explore that.”
Gross also played Burt Gummer in a short-lived Tremors TV series for SYFY, but that is not referenced here — presumably because it is not packaged as part of the six-movie DVD box set was released alongside A Cold Day in Hell today. Another TV series was in development with original Tremors lead actor Kevin Bacon attached, although SYFY elected not to go forward with it.

Arriving at a remote research facility in the arctic tundra, Burt begins to suspect that Graboids are secretly being weaponized, but before he can prove his theory, he is sidelined by Graboid venom. With just 48 hours to live, the only hope is to create an antidote from fresh venom — but to do that, someone will have to figure out how to milk a Graboid!
