AsJurassic World Camp Cretaceous finished production, executives atDreamWorks Animation Television andNetflix were interested in developing a follow-up. WhileCamp Cretaceous showrunner Scott Kreamer initially turned down the offer, he decided to work on a second series after he and co-showrunner Aaron Hammersley were given "an early rundown" of the filmJurassic World Dominion (2022), which inspired him to create a direct sequel starring older versions of theCamp Cretaceous cast in the vein of the laterHarry Potter films.[16][17] After deciding to work on the series, they reunited with story editor Bethany Armstrong Johnson to conceive the story for the series.[17]
In November 2023, at Netflix's Geeked Week virtual event, the follow-up series titledJurassic World: Chaos Theory was announced.[1] In June 2024, Netflix announced a second season of the series.[3] In January 2025, Netflix announced a third season of the series.[5] In June 2025, Netflix announced a fourth and final season of the series.[7][9]
The series is set shortly before the events ofJurassic World Dominion. Kreamer was intrigued by the world depicted in the film, in which dinosaurs have established themselves on the mainland, and wanted to explore "what does that look like for an everyday person?"[16] The producers also wanted to emphasize the characters now being older and "at that uncertain age where one is trying to figure out who they are and where they fit in the world," while facing their trauma, the proliferation of dinosaurs on the mainland, and a recent loss.[17] The writers also made the show a conspiracy thriller in contrast to the more adventurous tone ofCamp Cretaceous.[11]
The series starts with the assumed death of Brooklynn, which the showrunners wrote into the story in response to criticism thatCamp Cretaceous did not put its main characters in enough danger. The series introduces holographic immersion technology that serves as "a great way to expose people to their fears [of dinosaurs] without having to face them up close and personal". The main intention of including this aspect was to explore Yaz'spost-traumatic stress disorder from her time on Isla Nublar and how she copes with it as dinosaurs enter the mainland. The showrunners also established Yaz as having studied psychology because they liked the idea of her using the immersion technology to "help herself and others".[11]
In November 2023, alongside the announcement of the series, Paul-Mikél Williams was confirmed to reprise his role fromCamp Cretaceous as Darius Bowman.[1] In March 2024, it was announced thatSean Giambrone would reprise his role as Ben Pincus.[2] In April, it was announced thatRaini Rodriguez andKausar Mohammed would be reprising their roles as Sammy Gutierrez and Yasmina "Yaz" Fadoula respectively, withDarren Barnet replacingRyan Potter as Kenji Kon.[10] The showrunners originally wantedJenna Ortega to reprise her role as Brooklynn, but she was unable to commit due to scheduling issues and was replaced by Kiersten Kelly.[11][12]
Dichen Lachman, who previously portrayedSoyona Santos inJurassic World Dominion, joined the cast and reprised her role for the second and third seasons.[13] In March 2025,Isabella Rossellini,Beatrice Grannò, Sean Rohani, and Marwan Salama were announced to have joined the cast for the third season, whileAdam Harrington was confirmed to reprise his role asLewis Dodgson fromCamp Cretaceous.[14][18] In October 2025,Greg Chun was announced to reprise his role asDr. Henry Wu fromCamp Cretaceous for the fourth and final season.[15]
Animation services were provided byCGCG in Taipei, Taiwan. Production on a single episode took place over 17 months, with 12 weeks of animation. Visual inspirations for the series includeconspiracy thrillers such asThe Parallax View andAll the President's Men, seeking to "evoke a similar uneasy vibe, putting the main characters at a disadvantage as they try to figure out what's coming next before it's too late".[17]
Jurassic World: Chaos Theory premiered on May 24, 2024, on Netflix.[2] The second season premiered on October 17, 2024.[4] The third season premiered on April 3, 2025.[6] The fourth and final season premiered on November 20, 2025.[8][9]
Thereview aggregator websiteRotten Tomatoes reported a 100% approval rating with an average rating of 7.9/10, based on 6 critic reviews for the first season.[19]
