Season 2 of Netflix, Universal Pictures, Amblin Entertainment and DreamWorks Animation's Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous will help set up the plot of the third chapter of the Jurassic World trilogy, Jurassic World: Dominion.
"It's important to me, out of respect for the writers who are continuing to expand and create, to recognize [Camp Cretaceous] as clearly its own story and its own show," Dominion director and Camp Cretaceous executive producer Colin Trevorrow told EW. "But this season — and if we're granted further opportunities to tell the story that we have [in season 3] — will keep weaving in to the larger story and really inform some things, even in Dominion that will connect to discoveries made that I'm really excited about."
Season 1 of Camp Cretaceous centers on a group of six children chosen to attend the titular camp on Isla Nubar, albeit far removed from the theme park. However, as the events of the first Jurassic World begin to unfold, their summer vacation becomes a mission of survival.
The season ends with the kids stranded on the island after all the other Jurassic World attendees have been evacuated, and Season 2 will find them attempting to coexist with dinosaurs, both friendly and ferocious.
Inspired by the Jurassic World franchise, Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous follows six teenagers chosen for a once-in-a-lifetime experience at Camp Cretaceous, a new adventure camp on the opposite side of Isla Nublar, must work together to survive when dinosaurs wreak havoc across the island. Now stranded on an abandoned Isla Nublar, the campers struggle to survive among the wreckage of Jurassic World. As the T.Rex takes over Main Street, forcing the kids deeper into the jungle, the discovery that they may not be alone not only threatens their rescue but may uncover something more sinister.
Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous stars Paul-Mike’l Williams as Darius, Jenna Ortega as Brooklynn, Ryan Potter as Kenji, Raini Rodriguez as Sammy, Sean Giambrone as Ben and Kausar Mohammed as Yaz. Season 2 arrives on Netflix Jan. 22.
Directed by Colin Trevorrow, Jurassic World: Dominion stars Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas Howard, Sam Neill, Laura Dern, Jeff Goldblum, Jake Johnson, Justice Smith, Daniella Pineda, Omar Sy, Isabelle Sermon and B.D. Wong. The film arrives in theaters June 10, 2022.
