'Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous' Preview: 6 teens lost in park of raging dinosaurs, can they come out alive?
It's time to head back to Isla Nublar, but this time without Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard, as six teenagers win a trip to the camp experience of a lifetime. As is always the case with an island full of dinosaurs, however, things quickly go wrong and if they can't learn to work together, Camp Cretaceous might soon become the last experience of their lifetime. An all-new series set in the 'Jurassic World' universe is set to make its debut on Netflix, and for these six teenagers, life will never be the same.
Darus Bowman (Paul-Mikel Williams) has obsessed over dinosaurs for his entire life, and what once seemed impossible has now become real. He, along with social media whiz Brooklynn (Jenna Ortega), alpha male Kenji Kon (Ryan Potter), world-class athlete Yasmina "Yaz" Fadoula (Kausar Mohammed), party-loving Sammy Gutierrez (Raini Rodriguez) and the bookish Ben Pincus (Sean Giambrone) are the first teens to take part in a camp that's been 65 million years in the making and get up close and personal with real, live dinosaurs. The camp is everything a kid could hope from a camp, with kayaking, rock climbing, zip-lining, behind-the-scenes tours - and experience perfectly enhanced with the presence of beasts long extinct.
The teens are guided by slacker paleontologist Dave (Glen Powell) and his more stringent partner Roxie (Jameela Jamil) through their camp experience, but it's not long before things go awry and the dinosaurs take control of the park. Now the teens, once strangers, are going to have to come together as a team to make it out of Camp Cretaceous alive. Darus Bowman may have wanted to see dinosaurs all his life, but he's just gotten a lot more than he bargained for.
Check out the trailer below, which introduces some of the teens of the series, and their enthusiasm for the park, before everything goes sideways and dinosaurs are around every turn. Fans of the 'Jurassic World' series will see familiar areas of the park, and things like the glass globe vehicles meant for a safe, up-close and personal viewing experience with the park's dinosaurs.
