Netflix Announces Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous Show for 2020

By June 4, 2019News

Ready for another Jurassic adventure? After much speculation over the leaked title, we finally have our first official announcement concerning the upcoming Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous show releasing on Netflix next year! Watch the trailer and read the the official press release below:

DreamWorks Animation today announced Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous, an animated action-adventure series, is set to debut globally on Netflix in 2020 as part of an ongoing multi-year agreement with Netflix to produce original animated kids and family programming. Set within the same timeline as the 2015 blockbuster film, Jurassic World, the Netflix original series is inspired by the multi-billion-dollar franchise from Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment.

Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous follows a group of six teenagers chosen for a once-in-a-lifetime experience at a new adventure camp on the opposite side of Isla Nublar. But when dinosaurs wreak havoc across the island, the campers are stranded. Unable to reach the outside world, they’ll need to go from strangers to friends to family if they’re going to survive.

Scott Kreamer (Pinky Malinky) and Lane Lueras (Kung Fu Panda: The Paws of Destiny) serve as showrunners and executive producers. The series is executive produced by Steven Spielberg, Frank Marshall, and Colin Trevorrow. Zack Stentz serves as consulting producer.

Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous builds on a successful five-year relationship between DreamWorks Animation and Netflix that has seen 18 original series debut on the service, including the Tales of Arcadia trilogy from Guillermo del Toro, She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, Spirit Riding Free, and The Boss Baby: Back in Business. Following NBCUniversal’s acquisition of the studio, DreamWorks Animation and Netflix expanded their relationship to include first looks at animated series based on Universal Pictures properties as well as original and acquired IP. DreamWorks Animation has a number of additional series slated to debut on Netflix in 2019, including Archibald’s Next Big Thing from executive producer Tony Hale and the highly anticipated Fast & Furious animated series.

Quite exciting to see the Jurassic franchise getting its first official show (one that will see the light of day, anyway)! Naturally, we have to wonder what this means for Jurassic toys and collectibles in 2020. Will we see Mattel create figures based on characters in the show? What other merchandise can we expect to support Camp Cretaceous? As always we’ll keep you updated with any developments here on Collect Jurassic. 2020 can’t come soon enough!

    I hope we do get some new action figures. Maisie could use some friends! I really don’t think the show will be as good as “Evolution of Claire”, but it will still be fun to watch.

    Looking quite forward to this, glad an animated Jurassic series is finally happening after the failed attempts of before. Hope the series is good and worthy of the Jurassic name. I bet we’ll get a new toyline to accompany it.
