‘Jurassic World: Chaos Theory’ Creator Scott Kreamer Discusess THAT Major Crossover

While looking at the Jurassic franchise as a whole, what started as an ambitious movie project became one of the most beloved franchises of all time. Today, the movies are still being made and we also have several other projects there.

Jurassic World: Chaos Theory is one of those successful projects. The hit animated series is a sequel to Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous and fills in the blanks between the two most recent movies. Its second season has been airing on Netflix since October 17, 2014.

In light of the series’ success and popularity, our friends at ComicBookMovie.com had a talk with co-showrunner Scott Kreamer, who revealed many interesting details about the series, including that major crossover that everyone welcomed. Which one? Keep reading to find out!

Soyona Santos was a breakout character in the movies, and while she was a villain, the fans loved her, which is why her return to Chaos Theory was so well received. When asked about it, Kreamer said the following:

ROHAN: This season, we see the introduction of Soyona Santos, who we’d already met in Dominion. Since this series takes place before the events of the movie, what led to brining Dichen Lachman in this role? Was it pre-planned or did it come together later?

SCOTT: No, it came together later. When we first started figuring out Chaos Theory, none of us had seen Dominion yet, because it was during Covid and I think they were still in post production, and were finishing up the movie. So, a bunch of us involved in the leadership of the show and the writers, we went over to Universal to see an early cut of the movie.

There was a different beginning of the movie than what currently is in there, and so we watched it, and it’s Covid, so we’re all in different rows with our masks, watching this movie, and then, you know, Dichen’s performance as Sayona Santos, it really jumped off the screen to me and as well to our head writer, Bethany Armstrong Johnson, so after the screening, we just said, don’t know how it makes sense yet.

We don’t know where it fits into things, but we gotta get that character into the show, and luckily, Colin Trevorrow was all for it, because, you know, he’s with us when we break this series, when we break the seasons. So, Colin was all for it, and so that’s how it happened. We were just like, you watch Dominion, it’s like I want to know more about that lady all in white and so that’s how it all came together.

While on the topic of crossovers, Kreamer was asked whether Santos would remain as the only such character, and here is what he said:

ROHAN: Santos is probably the most prominent movie character you’ve introduced in the series, has there been any discussions about bringing others to the series?

SCOTT: I don’t want to get into spoiler territory, but yeah, I mean, there is. There’s a lot of great characters in the films that, you know, we’d love to get in if, again, it has to make sense with our characters, and it also has to make sense within the films as well. We don’t want suddenly, like our characters can’t be in a scene that would have been in the movie, or something like that.

We’ve always tried to see things from, you know, going back to Camp Cretaceous, whether it’s Masrani’s helicopter crashing into the aviary or the guy in the yellow jacket getting eaten by the Mosasaurus. We like telling the story from a different point of view, but, to answer your question, yeah, there’s a bunch of characters I’d love to get into the show.

He finally answered one question that connects Santos and Brooklyn, a very important character from the series we have already talked about:

ROHAN: We know Santos will eventually make her way to Malta, but we also know that Brooklyn isn’t with her in the movie, so what could be the next step in their journey? What can you tease about when or where she might reunite with her friends?

SCOTT: Yeah, well, I mean, again, the kids are sort of left like, wow, one, Brooklyn’s alive, and two, she just turned her back on us and left with the bad guy. So, you know, like I was saying before, everyone’s going to be feeling a different kind of way about that, and that I would imagine would really cause some dramatic shifts in the relationships in the camp fam and as Brooklyn is going with Soyona Santos, and, like you said, we know where she’s headed.

So, I would imagine that Brooklyn’s going to be there with her, or be with her on the way there, you know, again, Brooklyn’s not in Dominion, but she is definitely with Santos now, so hopefully we’ll get the runway to keep telling that story.
