DreamWorks Animation, Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment's Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous will come to an end with Season 5.
The news was confirmed by way of a teaser trailer heralding the arrival of the final season on July 21. The footage is comprised of montage shots hinting at what's to come after the shocking revelation that Kenji's father was in charge of the sinister Mantah Corp. A new synopsis also teases a major betrayal by a member of the beloved Camp Fam.
The arrival of Kenji’s father, Mr. Kon, renews hope of a rescue for the campers. But as the nefarious plans of Mantah Corp. come into focus and one of the Camp Fam turns on their own, the others must band together if they want to save the dinosaurs and ever make it home.
Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous premiered on Netflix in 2019, centering on six children (Darius, Brook-Lynne, Kenji, Ben, Yas and Sammy) who attended a summer camp on Isla Nublar during the events of Jurassic World. When the island was evacuated, however, the kids were left behind to fend for themselves. Season 2 saw the addition of three new adult characters: Mitch, Tiff and Hap. While the kids believed this meant they were saved, Mitch and Tiff were revealed to be big-game hunters looking to kill dinosaurs (they were ultimately killed themselves), while Hap sacrificed himself to save the children from several Baryonyxes. In Season 3, the show caught up with the events of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom and introduced a new hybrid dinosaur called the Scorpius rex, but the kids were able to get off the island before it was destroyed in the aforementioned film.
Season 4 brought the kids to a brand-new island, which turned out to be the headquarters for Mantah Corps. and is run by Kenji's father. "We've been building the reveal of Kenji's Dad for a while," executive producer Scott Kreamer previously told CBR. "We weren't sure exactly how we were going to reveal it, but I would say -- even going back to when we were breaking Season 2, I think we always knew that Kenji's dad was going to be a player in it. We tried to seed things throughout [the series]. If you don't know about Kenji's attitude about his father or anything about how he was raised or how he feels, it wouldn't have any kind of impact. So yeah, we've been heading this way for a long time."
The fifth and final season of Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous arrives on Netflix July 21.
