'Jurassic World: Chaos Theory': Here's how the Netflix series fits into 'Jurassic World' timeline
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'Jurassic World: Chaos Theory', slated to release on Netflix, will follow the narrative of 'Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous', making it a direct sequel.

DreamWorks Animation Television rolled out five exciting seasons of the animated sci-fi action-adventure series within three years.
'Jurassic World: Chaos Theory' takes forward the story of 'Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous'
'Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous' (2020-2022) revolves around six teens who find themselves stranded on Isla Nublar following the dinosaur breakout, as showcased in the 2015 film of the franchise.
The series showcases their adventures across the island as they strive to survive and find a way to escape.
The trailer for its sequel, 'Jurassic World: Chaos Theory', suggests that Brooklyn is dead. We then see the remaining five adventurers embarking on a mission to find the truth behind it all.
The official synopsis for the upcoming series on Netflix reads, "The Camp Cretaceous gang comes together to unravel a mystery when they discover a global conspiracy that brings danger to dinosaurs — and to themselves."
Where does 'Jurassic World: Chaos Theory' fit into the 'Jurassic World' franchise?
The official trailer for 'Jurassic World: Chaos Theory' reveals that the series takes place six years after 'Camp Cretaceous,' which unfolded over one year across five seasons.
The finale of 'Camp Cretaceous' Season 5 leaped into 'Jurassic World Dominion' territory. This places 'Chaos Theory' three years after 'Fallen Kingdom' and one year before 'Dominion'.
The series marks the return of key characters: Darius Bowman, Ben Pincus, Yasmina 'Yaz' Fadoula, Kenji Kon, and Sammy Gutierrez. Chances of Jenna Ortega returning as Brooklyn look bleak as the character meets a tragic end within the first few seconds of the trailer.
However, there's a running theory among fans that she is "not dead" and "will show up in the last episodes like a big plot twist."
