Credit: Universal PicturesJurassic World Rebirth (2025) is the seventh entry in the Jurassic film series, which started with Steven Spielberg’s Jurassic Park. The 1993 film became a worldwide phenomenon, not only dominating the global box office upon its release but also becoming an instant classic while also transforming the landscape of cinema with its ground-breaking special effects.
The new film follows five sequels: The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997), Jurassic Park III (2001), Jurassic World (2015), Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018), and Jurassic World Dominion (2022). Collectively, the six films grossed over $6 billion worldwide.
Now, Jurassic World Rebirth has arrived, having had its red-carpet premiere at Odeon Luxe Leicester Square in London yesterday, June 17, where the cast and crew were in attendance.
Starring Scarlett Johansson (Avengers: Endgame), Jonathan Bailey (Bridgerton), Manuel Garcia-Rulfo (The Lincoln Lawyer), Rupert Friend (Obi-Wan Kenobi), and Mahershala Ali (The Green Book), the film follows a team sent on a mission to an abandoned InGen facility, where “a sinister, shocking discovery” awaits them in the form of several mutant dinosaurs.
Jurassic World Rebirth is directed by Gareth Edwards, best known for Godzilla (2014) and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016), with a screenplay by David Koepp, who penned the scripts for the first two films, Jurassic Park and The Lost World.
While nothing has been confirmed, Rebirth is expected to be the first in a brand-new trilogy, following the Jurassic Park and the Jurassic World trilogies, with stars such as Scarlett Johansson likely returning.

Jurassic World Rebirth Isn’t the Latest Sequel
Jurassic World Rebirth might have enjoyed its worldwide premiere in London yesterday, but it isn’t being distributed in theaters by Universal Pictures until July 2. The latest sequel in the franchise is, in fact, Jurassic World: Chaos Theory Season 3 on Netflix.
Season 3 of the hit animated series sees the return of Camp Cretaceous/Chaos Theory regulars, Darius Bowman (Paul-Mikél Williams), Ben Pincus (Sean Giambrone), Yasmina Fadoula (Kausar Mohammed), Kenji Kon (Darren Barnet, who replaces Ryan Potter), Sammy Gutierrez (Raini Rodriguez), and Brooklynn (Kiersten Kelly, formerly Jenna Ortega).
This time, where previous seasons–which include the first five seasons of the initial show, Camp Cretaceous–overlapped with the events of Jurassic World (2015) and Fallen Kingdom, Chaos Theory Season 3 forms huge ties with the latest theatrical installment, Dominion. As such, this makes the series as much a movie sequel as the film itself.
While you won’t see the likes of Owen Grady (Chris Pratt) and Claire Dearing (Bryce Dallas Howard) return (although they get name-dropped throughout), the new season does come armed to the teeth with several surprise cameos from characters introduced in live action.
Season 3 finds Darius, Ben, Yaz, Kenji, Sammy, and Brooklynn working together to unravel a global conspiracy and take down dinosaur black market dealer Soyona Santos (Dominion‘s Dichen Lachman reprises her role) and Biosyn CEO Lewis Dodgson (Adam Harrington).
But they’re not alone, as they form an alliance with Barry Sembène (Evan Michael Lee), the Jurassic World trilogy’s raptor whisperer-turned-French Intelligence operative, who was brought to life on the big screen by Omar Sy.

Is Chaos Theory Season 3 Any Good?
Like previous seasons (including Camp Cretaceous), Chaos Theory Season 3 suffers from some big lulls in its storytelling, usually when it spends too much time on the relationships between its characters, which aren’t anywhere near as interesting as the show thinks.
The last half of the season is surprisingly solid stuff, though, with the plot neatly weaving itself in between the events seen in Dominion (particularly those set on and underneath the streets of Malta). In fact, once we enter the 2022 blockbuster’s territory, it’s a huge blast, and it’s great fun to see even more characters from the movies get the animated treatment.
Like Dominion, Chaos Theory also moves away from the dinosaur hybrids that plagued the first two World films, as the Camp Cretaceous gang battles more traditional dinosaurs, as well as black market dealers and other dangerous human villains.
Where Can I Watch Chaos Theory Season 3?
All 10 episodes of Chaos Theory Season 3, along with the first two seasons and all five seasons of Camp Cretaceous, are now streaming on Netflix.
Here’s to hoping Chaos Theory Season 4 will bring some even bigger names into animation — if not the likes of Owen and Claire, then hopefully the original Jurassic Park ensemble, Alan Grant (Sam Neill), Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern), and Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum). Future seasons are also likely to form ties with the upcoming film, Jurassic World Rebirth.
We’re sure the showrunners will “find a way”. Watch the trailer for Season 3 below:
