| ShortSummary = Yaz awakens at the riverside restaurant and finds the Suchomimus feasting on the hippopotamus. After the dinosaur goes to sleep, she sneaks around it to retrieve a flashlight before climbing a tree. After turning on the flashlight, she spooks a flock of Dimorphodons, waking up the Suchomimus which begins hunting her. Yaz tries to sneak away with a new boat, but the dinosaur destroys it before Yaz escapes across the river where she sees the Majungasaurus from the cargo ship kill a lion before it gives chase. Further downriver, Sammy becomes desperate about finding Yaz and lashes out at Zayna who demands they stay on the water where it is safer. The flock of Dimorphodons attack the boats, until a pride of lions kills one and Sammy apologizes to Zayna. They soon find Yaz but both the Majungasaurus and the Suchomimus arrive and fight each other, giving the Nublar Six and Zayna time to escape on the boats as the Majungasaurus kills the other dinosaur. They soon find debris from the cargo ship and begin to follow it. In Dubai, Brooklynn tries to call Ben and warn him about Santos's impending arrival before leaving with her.

A blind leucistic Baryonyx with a hyperacute sense of hearing enters the arena before a container containing Geba is also lowered. Yaz, Sammy, and Zayna get inside, but as the container is raised, Darius falls back down. Meanwhile, Ben and Kenji find themselves on separate sides of an observation room. Brooklynn enters on Ben's side and admonishes him for being at the facility before leaving with the case of eggs.

Production

=Development=

As Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous finished production, executives at DreamWorks Animation Television and Netflix were interested in developing a follow-up. While Camp Cretaceous showrunner Scott Kreamer initially turned down the offer, he decided to work on a second series after he and co-showrunner Aaron Hammersley were given "an early rundown" of the film Jurassic World Dominion (2022), which inspired him to create a direct sequel starring older versions of the Camp Cretaceous cast in the vein of the later Harry Potter films.{{cite web|last=Romano|first=Nick|date=May 17, 2024|title=Jurassic World: Chaos Theory trailer reveals 'Camp Cretaceous' stars|url=https://ew.com/jurassic-world-chaos-theory-trailer-exclusive-paul-mikel-williams-darius-sean-giambrone-ben-8621071|website=Entertainment Weekly|access-date=May 19, 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240516215615/https://ew.com/jurassic-world-chaos-theory-trailer-exclusive-paul-mikel-williams-darius-sean-giambrone-ben-8621071|archive-date=May 16, 2024|url-status=live}}{{cite web|last=Zahed|first=Ramin|date=May 17, 2024|title=The Return of the Nublar Six: Jurassic Park: Chaos Theory Heightens the Stakes for the DreamWorks Animation Franchise |url=https://www.animationmagazine.net/2024/05/the-return-of-the-nublar-six-jurassic-park-chaos-theory-heightens-the-stakes-for-the-dreamworks-animation-franchise/|website=Animation Magazine|access-date=May 19, 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240520104214/https://www.animationmagazine.net/2024/05/the-return-of-the-nublar-six-jurassic-park-chaos-theory-heightens-the-stakes-for-the-dreamworks-animation-franchise/|archive-date=May 20, 2024|url-status=live}} After deciding to work on the series, they reunited with story editor Bethany Armstrong Johnson to conceive the story for the series.

In November 2023, at Netflix's Geeked Week virtual event, the follow-up series titled Jurassic World: Chaos Theory was announced. In June 2024, Netflix announced a second season of the series.{{cite web|last=Campione|first=Katie|date=June 6, 2024|title=Jurassic World: Chaos Theory Season 2 Set For Fall; Netflix Releases First Look Photos|url=https://deadline.com/2024/06/jurassic-world-chaos-theory-season-2-premiere-date-first-look-photos-netflix-1235961106/|website=Deadline Hollywood|access-date=June 6, 2024}} In January 2025, Netflix announced a third season of the series.{{cite web|last=Campione|first=Katie|date=January 30, 2025|title=Netflix 2025 Series Slate: New Seasons Of Stranger Things, Wednesday, Squid Game, Black Mirror & More|url=https://deadline.com/2025/01/netflix-2025-series-slate-stranger-things-wednesday-squid-game-black-mirror-1236272318/|website=Deadline Hollywood|access-date=January 30, 2025}}

=Writing=

The series is set shortly before the events of Jurassic World Dominion. Kreamer was intrigued by the world depicted in the film, in which dinosaurs have established themselves on the mainland, and wanted to explore "what does that look like for an everyday person?" The producers also wanted to emphasize the characters now being older and "at that uncertain age where one is trying to figure out who they are and where they fit in the world," while facing their trauma, the proliferation of dinosaurs on the mainland, and a recent loss. The writers also made the show a conspiracy thriller in contrast to the more adventurous tone of Camp Cretaceous.{{Cite web|last=Vejvoda|first=Jim|date=May 16, 2024|title=Jurassic World: Chaos Theory Showrunners on Why Jenna Ortega Isn't Back as Brooklynn for New Series|url=https://www.ign.com/articles/jurassic-world-chaos-theory-clip-jenna-ortega-brooklynn-dead|website=IGN|access-date=May 18, 2024|archive-date=May 18, 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240518152635/https://www.ign.com/articles/jurassic-world-chaos-theory-clip-jenna-ortega-brooklynn-dead|url-status=live}}

The series starts with the assumed death of Brooklynn, which the showrunners wrote into the story in response to criticism that Camp Cretaceous didn't put its main characters in enough danger. The series introduces holographic immersion technology that serves as "a great way to expose people to their fears [of dinosaurs] without having to face them up close and personal". The main intention of including this aspect was to explore Yaz's post-traumatic stress disorder from her time on Isla Nublar and how she copes with it as dinosaurs enter the mainland. The showrunners also established Yaz as having studied psychology because they liked the idea of her using the immersion technology to "help herself and others".

=Casting=

In November 2023, alongside the announcement of the series, Paul-Mikél Williams was confirmed to reprise his role from Camp Cretaceous as Darius Bowman. In March 2024, it was announced that Sean Giambrone would reprise his role as Ben Pincus. In April, it was announced that Raini Rodriguez and Kausar Mohammed would be reprising their roles as Sammy Gutierrez and Yasmina "Yaz" Fadoula respectively, with Darren Barnet replacing Ryan Potter as Kenji Kon.{{cite web|last=Milligan|first=Mercedes|date=April 30, 2024|title=Trailer: Jurassic World: Chaos Theory Roars to Netflix Debut in May|url=https://www.animationmagazine.net/2024/04/trailer-jurassic-world-chaos-theory-roars-to-netflix-debut-in-may/|website=Animation Magazine|access-date=April 30, 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240506151849/https://www.animationmagazine.net/2024/04/trailer-jurassic-world-chaos-theory-roars-to-netflix-debut-in-may/|archive-date=May 6, 2024|url-status=live}} The showrunners originally wanted Jenna Ortega to reprise her role as Brooklynn, but she was unable to commit due to scheduling issues and was replaced by Kiersten Kelly.{{cite web|last=Devore|first=Britta|date=September 23, 2024|title=Netflix's Jurassic World: Chaos Theory Season 2 Trailer Unleashes a Twisty Mystery|url=https://collider.com/jurassic-world-chaos-theory-season-2-trailer/|website=Collider|access-date=March 12, 2025}}

Animation services were provided by CGCG in Taipei, Taiwan. Production on a single episode took place over 17 months, with 12 weeks of animation. Visual inspirations for the series include conspiracy thrillers such as The Parallax View and All the President's Men, seeking to "evoke a similar uneasy vibe, putting the main characters at a disadvantage as they try to figure out what's coming next before it's too late".
