The kids ofJurassic World: Camp Cretaceousare all grown up and facing a new threat in the trailer for the sequel seriesJurassic World: Chaos Theory. The animated follow-up takes place six years after the group’s adventures on Isla Nublar after they were left stranded for nearly a year when the dinosaurs broke free during their stay at the titular camp. Darius Bowman (Paul-Mikel Williams), the leader of the group, now has to reunite with his old pals in the wake of a tragedy to get to the bottom of a global conspiracy that threatensboth humans and dino-kind alike. The “Nublar Six” themselves are also in grave danger due to this sinister plan, going on the run as someone tries to hunt them down.
Thanks to a news report, the trailer opens by briefly flashing back throughthe events ofCamp Cretaceous. Acrossthe five seasonsof the original series for younger audiences, the teens were presumed dead by the public until they were miraculouslyable to sail back to the mainland, surviving largely due to their friendship and trust in each other. Now that they’re back home, however, everyone has had difficulty adjusting to a world where dinosaurs and humans co-exist consideringtheir many run-ins with the pre-historic creatures. In the six years since their harrowing survival story, they’ve all led separate lives until one day when Ben (Sean Giambrone) shows up at Darius’s door.
Chaos Theoryappears to be going for a more mature tone than its predecessor if the trailer is any indication. Darius was more than ready to tase whatever was at his door in the dead of night until he saw the friendly face of Ben, who came bearing bad news. He informs his old friend that someone is afterthe Nublar Six, and they need to find the others and warn them before the worst comes to pass. Through their sleuthing and searching, they find not only a mysterious group hunting them down,but dinosaurs stalking them at every turn, making their journey a perilous one.
