Production

In the 1990's, Steven Spielberg and Universal Studios attempted to create an animated series based on Jurassic Park due to that films unprecedented level of critical and commercial success. Despite genuine interest the series never made it past pre-production. Another animated series which was meant to tie in with the Chaos Effect toy line would later enter development but also was never made.

In 2018, after the critical and commercial successes of Jurassic World and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, Universal stated its commitment to making expanded media for the Jurassic World franchise. This included books, the toylines, video games, and rumored to include animated TV series.

In 2019 rumors circulated that Universal Studios and DreamWorks Animation's partnership to adapt animated series based on Universal film franchises would include Jurassic World. That summer, a teaser was released online announcing that Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous would release sometime in 2020. Scott Kreamer and Aaron Hammersley are the showrunners and executive producers. The series also sees Steven Spielberg, Frank Marshall, Colin Trevorrow, and Lane Lueras serving as executive producer; with Zack Stentz serving as a consulting producer.

Season 2

Production of season 2 began right at the outbreak of COVID-19, but was not interrupted because the entirety of the series was animated and the cast were able to work remotely.

Marketing

At the San Diego Comic Con 2019, Mattel revealed that several of the Jurassic World toylines would be tie ins with this show. In 2020 aforementioned toys modeled after dinosaurs and characters from the show were released.

In September 2020, fast-food chain McDonald's began including Happy Meal toys based on Camp Cretaceous. Included were booklets as well as four eggs containing toy dinosaurs from the show.

Trivia

• Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous is the first official canon Jurassic Park TV series. It is also the second animated series and the first mainline series to actually make it past the production stage and make it to airing.
  • Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous is not, however, the first Jurassic Park TV series overall. That honor goes to LEGO Jurassic World: Legend of Isla Nublar, a Canadian animated miniseries that aired on Nickelodeon and the Family Channel in Canada.
• Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous is the first animated TV series to be co-produced by Amblin Television since 2007's The Land Before Time TV series.
• Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous is the second DreamWorks Animation TV series based on a Universal Studios film property after Fast & Furious: Spy Racers.
• Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous appears to take inspiration, both stylistically and thematically from films & pop culture from the 1980s, 1990s and other works which were influenced by those periods.
  • Camp Cretaceous shares a numerous similarities to films directed by Steven Spielberg such as the original Jurassic Park, Jaws, E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial, Hook as well as the Spielberg produced Super 8.
• Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous is the first canonical Jurassic Park media that takes place concurrently with a film, in this case being Jurassic World. This is demonstrated most as Claire Dearing and Simon Masrani are mentioned repeatedly throughout the series but do not physically appear.
  • Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous is second, however, to the semi-canonical Jurassic Park: The Game which was concurrent with Jurassic Park.
• Mr. DNA retains his traditionally-animated form in the series.
• Apatosaurus has made no appearance in the series (so far) although the animal is featured in the promotional book.
• For the first time in the franchise, Brontosaurus is acknowledged to be a separate genus from Apatosaurus. When Kenji identifies an unseen dinosaur as Brontosaurus, Darius corrects him that the park doesn't have that sauropod, rather than referring to Apatosaurus which the park does have.
• This is first time that Ceratosaurus makes appearance in Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous ever since the cameo in Jurassic Park III on Isla Sorna.
• Pocket Sandwich Theaters originally planned a parody of Jurassic Park named "Camp Cretaceous", but had to rename their parody to Triassic Trek after Netflix acquired the rights to "Camp Cretaceous".
• This is the third film canon entity to refer to the Nublar Tyrannosaurus rex as "Rexy." The first was Jurassic Park: The Game the second is The Evolution of Claire in 2018.
• This series confirms Compsognathus to be venomous in the film canon.
• Main Street is shown to still be in the center of the island like it was in Jurassic World, further contradicting the digital map seen in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.
• According to executive producer Scott Kreamer, in his mind, it took 6 to 8 weeks for the campers to build their tree house from the time Yaz began sketching it, making the length of season 2 at least more than a month's time.
