‘Jurassic World: Chaos Theory’ Creator Talks About the Influence of THAT Major Season 2 Change

Jurassic World: Chaos Theory is a series that managed to capture the hearts of fans all around the world. This Netflix animated series was a proper hit, and it perfectly built on the success of Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous, whose direct sequel it is. The first season aired back in May and since October 17, 2024, we are able to stream the second season as well.

In light of that, one of the showrunners, Scott Kreamer, sat down for a talk with our friends at ComicBookMovie.com, in which he revealed many interesting moments from and about the second season of the hit animated series.

There will be several points we are going to discuss here on Fiction Horizon, but in this particular article, we are going to address Kreamer’s comments on that one big twist from the season, which is related to a shocking moment from Season 1 of the show, and we hope that things will now be clearer to everyone.

Brooklyn’s supposed death was a shocking moment in Season 1, and while we found out that she survived by the end of that same season, Season 2 saw her return as a very different person than she was in Season 1. Kreamer was asked about the influence of that fact on the series and the character development, and here is what he said:

ROHAN: The end of season one revealed that Brooklyn is indeed alive, but we learn this season that she’s undergone a major physical transformation, which you don’t typically seen in animated shows. What led to making these changes and what does it mean moving forward into a potential season three?

SCOTT: Yeah, well, we knew that it was baked into the whole premise of the thing, that they were going to think Brooklyn was dead, but she wasn’t.

But, we wanted that to feel more like, we didn’t want it to be like there was a lot of blood there, and, you know, we wanted to sell it as much as we could that something had happened to her and that they would plausibly believe that she had died. And then, our supervising producer pitched the idea, well, what if she loses part of her arm and it just clicked. It raises the stakes.

It shows you that she didn’t just roll out of the way and everything was fine. It does something that they really haven’t done much, if at all, maybe in the Jurassic franchise, in which a character, a main character, actually gets hurt by a dinosaur. And then, on top of it all, it also gave us a chance to give visibility to a vastly underrepresented community, the disabled community, the community with limb differences.

You don’t see a lot of it on television, and even less of it in kids television or they’re usually like a side character, so it gave us an opportunity to tell that story as well. So, once we kind of stumbled upon the idea of doing it that way, then everything sort of came together for the character, and the fact that this traumatic injury, this limb difference, this acquired limb difference now, it still doesn’t define Brooklyn, it informs her character, but her whole character isn’t just about I’m missing my left hand.

ROHAN: With everyone now learning that Brooklyn is alive, how will this affect all of the group dynamics, namely with Darius and Kenji? Plus, there’s the whole Ben of it, where he’s been hiding this big secret.

SCOTT: Yeah, I mean, it’s really fun. We’ve not been very kind to any of these kids since the beginning of Camp Cretaceous and we’re not making things any easier, especially for Kenji. So, you know, where we kind of pick up, we start the series with Brooklyn’s death has kind of sent these drastic repercussions throughout the whole camp fam, and now, you know, we’re ending Season Two with Brooklyn being alive.

It’s going to have, you know, also, like a cataclysmic effect on people within the group, and with their relationships, and not everyone’s going to be feeling the same kind of way with how the end of season two goes down. So, hopefully, moving forward, we’ll get to explore more about, well, what are the repercussions within this group. We always want to try to take the characters someplace we haven’t taken them before, but a place that makes sense with their growth and evolution as characters.
