The Marvel Cinematic Universe isn’t the only franchise to which the saying, “It’s all connected,” can be applied. Jurassic World: Chaos Theory co-creator Scott Kreamer recently reaffirmed the animated series’ connection to the rest of the franchise’s canon ahead of its return on Netflix next month.
Speaking with Screen Rant at New York Comic Con 2025, Kreamer addressed fan concerns that the events of Chaos Theory and its predecessor series Camp Cretaceous had been decanonized following the release of the franchise’s latest movie, Jurassic World Rebirth. The series co-creator confirmed that the animated shows were “absolutely” still canon to the movies before teasing how the fourth and final season of Chaos Theory would further explore what the Nublar Six were up to during the events of 2022’s Jurassic World Dominion.
“Our series runs kind of parallel, especially season 4, along with Dominion. So, Rebirth is still off in the future from Chaos Theory. We’re still going to be revisiting a lot of things from different points of view that you see in Dominion,” Kreamer shared. This isn’t anything new for the franchise’s animated outings, as the first season of Camp Cretaceous was set before, during, and after the events of 2015’s Jurassic World, while previous seasons of Chaos Theory had already begun to tie into Dominion, most notably through the inclusion of Dichen Lachman’s Soyona Santos, who originated in the 2022 movie.

Jurassic World: Chaos Theory begins six years after the events of Camp Cretaceous, following the “Nublar Six” as they struggle to find their footing off the islands, navigating a world now filled with dinosaurs and people who want to hurt them. Reunited in the wake of a tragedy, the group comes together only to find themselves on the run and catapulted into a global adventure to unravel a conspiracy that threatens dinosaur and humankind alike and finally learn the truth about what happened to one of their own. In the final season, which will consist of nine 22-minute episodes, “The Nublar Six must find a way to come together as they struggle to survive the deadly dinosaur and human threats hidden within Biosyn Valley,” per the official logline.
The returning voice cast for Chaos Theory Season 4 includes Paul-Mikél Williams as Darius, Sean Giambrone as Ben, Darren Barnet as Kenji, Raini Rodriguez as Sammy, Kausar Mohammed as Yasmina, and Kiersten Kelly as Brooklynn, who are collectively referred to as “The Nublar Six.” Beatrice Granno, Adam Harrington, and Greg Chun also return from previous seasons as Gia, Dodgson, and Dr. Wu, respectively.
Once Chaos Theory has concluded, the Jurassic World franchise will fully be focused on its next era, which began this past summer with Jurassic World Rebirth, a largely standalone entry that exists within the timeline but features a brand-new cast of characters headlined by Scarlett Johansson. While the movie wasn’t as commercially successful as the previous Jurassic World outings, Rebirth’s $858 million box office haul proved that there is still some bite left in the franchise, which is why Universal is rumored to be in early development on a sequel that will bring back Johansson’s Zora Bennett as its lead star.
The fourth and final season of Jurassic World: Chaos Theory arrives on Netflix on Nov. 20.
