The new animated Jurassic World show, Jurassic World: Chaos Theory, will make up for the last movie’s failure by centering on a missed story opportunity. After the disastrous critical reception of Jurassic World Dominion and the final episode of Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous, it seemed like the franchise’s end. Approximately one year later, Netflix announced a new animated series called Jurassic World: Chaos Theory. On November 9, the streamer finally dropped the first preview for the series, hyping up the franchise’s future after hope was largely lost for subsequent Jurassic Park projects.
The trailer for Jurassic World: Chaos Theory shows a tyrannosaurus rex causing a massive car wreck after it runs out of a heavily wooded area. After inducing mayhem, the creature lets out the famous T. rex roar that has become synonymous with the six-movie Jurassic Park franchise. Jurassic World: Chaos Theory points towards a world where dinosaurs and humans cannot coexist peacefully, a realistic outcome of animals from multiple historical eras living together in one world. With this set-up for the Netflix TV show, Jurassic World: Chaos is making up for an error made by the 2022 movie.
Jurassic World: Chaos Theory Focuses On What Dominion Should’ve Been About
Even though Universal Pictures advertised Jurassic World Dominion as a movie about dinosaurs living in the wild, it mostly focused on locusts’ impact on the world. When they finally showed dinosaurs in the wild at the end of Jurassic World Dominion, all the species lived normally in the human world. Luckily, Jurassic World: Chaos Theory will remedy this issue by putting dinosaurs in the wild at the forefront of the plot, as Dominion should have done.
Unlike the utopian integration of dinosaurs in Dominion‘s ending, the presence of dinosaurs heavily impacts humans, as seen in the Jurassic World: Chaos Theory‘s trailer. This is expected to be the central conflict in the upcoming animated Netflix series, expanding on problems that weren’t strongly depicted in the movies. Jurassic World: Chaos Theory will likely show the world adapting to the presence of dangerous predators that would be higher on the food chain than humans.
How Jurassic World: Chaos Theory Connects To Camp Cretaceous
The upcoming show Jurassic World: Chaos Theory functions as a sequel to Camp Cretaceous, the previous Netflix animated series. It’s unclear how the two will connect through the plot; however, the trailer already shows a character link to the previous series. The young man who appears at the end seems to be an older version of Darius Bowman, one of the main characters in Camp Cretaceous. Jurassic World: Chaos Theory would allow the story of Darius, Brooklyn, Kenji, and all the others to continue.
Moreover, it would answer the question of what the characters were up to during the previous two movies. Camp Cretaceous season 5’s timeline is set before the main events of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, with the epilogue taking place before Dominion. As such, Jurassic World: Chaos Theory could help explain what happened to Darius and Camp Cretaceous‘ characters during and after Dominion‘s events.
