Scott Kreamer Reveals How ‘Chaos Theory’ Is Connected to the Main Films and Edwards’ Upcoming ‘Jurassic Park’ Film

The Jurassic World: Chaos Theory series has captured the hearts and minds of fans worldwide. The success of its direct predecessor, Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous, was brilliantly continued in this Netflix animated series, which is now an enormous hit. The first season debuted in May, and as of October 17, 2024, the second season is currently accessible on Netflix.

Because of this, Scott Kreamer, one of the co-creators, took some time to speak with our friends at ComicBookMovie.com. Kreamer revealed a number of intriguing details about the season and the series overall during the lengthy discussion, which covered a number of significant subjects.

In this report, we are going to talk about the connections between Chaos Theory and the main Jurassic films. We know that the series is part of the same fictional universe as the movies, but how direct are these connections, and how is the current series related to future projects? Keep reading to find out!

As you know, the two Jurassic World animated series are set in the same fictional universe as the movies. Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous, which originally ran from 2020 to 2022, consisting of a total of 49 episodes (+ 1 special) spread through five seasons, served as an indirect sequel to Jurassic World.

At the same time, Jurassic World: Chaos Theory, which is a direct sequel to Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous (there is a six-year time skip, though), is set between the events of Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018) and Jurassic World Dominion (2022).

Since the Jurassic Universe is a large one with several plot elements, the guys at ComicBookMovie.com wanted to know how the current season of the animated series was made in light of Gareth Edwards’ upcoming Jurassic film, Rebirth, and here is what Kreamer said:

ROHAN: Season 2 reveals that there are dinosaurs all across the globe, not just in North America, which obviously means huge things for this franchise. When you’re mapping out this series, what kind of discussions are you having with Colin Trevorrow and Frank Marshall about what you can and can’t do? Did you have to accommodate for Gareth Edwards doing Rebirth?

SCOTT: Yeah, I mean, when we started Chaos Theory, I don’t even know if they knew they were making Rebirth. I know there wasn’t a script for it yet.

So, you know, we’re given a great deal of latitude, as long as we’re not breaking film canon, and again, Colin reads every script and Frank Marshall is also involved in just making sure that we’re not doing anything that we’re not supposed to be but, I mean, the only thing that we were basically, the only guard rails, is like, basically, don’t go past Dominion, you know, don’t go way past Dominion, because they didn’t know where they were going next. So, that was sort of our only guard rail as far as that goes.

As you can see, the series wasn’t altered much, but Kreamer was asked whether a crossover between the animated series and the movies was ever planned:

ROHAN: Before the release of Jurassic World: Dominion, there were rumors that some of these Camp Cretaceous characters could appear in Dominion. Was there any truth to those rumors? Or was there ever a conversation? 

SCOTT: I think that’s sort of a wish list thing. There was a time, and this is an Easter Egg, the Carnotaurus with the broken horn in Dominion. There was a short window when that almost turned out to be Toro from Camp Cretaceous, but it didn’t. These things are really hard to sync up, so that was the closest to anyone from Camp Cretaceous actually being in Dominion.

We now know that Soyona Santos is the first crossover character, but she came from the movies, rather than the animated series, which is why the answer to the above-given question was so important.
