With several movies already out and another one on the way, it seems as if the people behind the Jurassic Park and Jurassic World films might be looking for other ways to get their properties in front of eyeballs. The series has already moved to streaming devices and TV with the animated show Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous.

So could there be a chance that instead of feature films, the next step is to put together a live-action series? Two producers recently spilled the beans on that scenario. In a new interview with /Film, Jurassic World: Dominion producers Frank Marshall and Kathleen Kennedy made it clear that as of now, there haven’t been any discussions about bringing the Jurassic World stories to the small screen. Marshall said that his focus right now is only on the movie versions of the story and that likely won’t change anytime soon.
Marshall did also mention that he’s still working on Jurassic World: Cramp Cretaceous for Netflix, but he added that he thinks “that’s plenty” for now. Of course, it should be pointed out that these kinds of franchises can always change course if another producer or executive decides that the money would be too good to ignore. However, it appears the powers that be are content to keep the franchise to the big screen for the time being.
There have been other plans for the Jurassic World and Jurassic Park franchise before now, including a couple of different series that were planned but eventually fell by the wayside. Escape from Jurassic Park was the first animated spinoff planned from the original Jurassic Park movie while Jurassic Park: Chaos Effect also hit the planning stages but never went any further.
Marshall has seen his movies spawn television spinoffs before, so it wasn’t out of the question to think that a live-action Jurassic World show might eventually be developed. His Jason Bourne franchise was eventually spun off into Treadstone, though that show lasted only one season before it was canceled. He was also the producer for the original Purge movie that eventually spawned a television series by the same name. Despite those attempts to take popular movies and bring them to the small screen, it appears the producer has no interest in doing that with the Jurassic Park series.
Jurassic World: Dominion is scheduled to be released in theaters on June 10, 2022.
