Direct Sequel and Franchise Continuation
The immediate follow-up to Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is Jurassic World Dominion, released in 2022 and produced by Universal Pictures and Amblin Entertainment. The film concludes the storyline that began with Jurassic Park and continued through the Jurassic World trilogy, with a runtime of 146 minutes and a global box office gross of over $1 billion. Forbes reported on the film's box office performance. The project was directed by Colin Trevorrow and written by Trevorrow and Emily Carmichael, with Steven Spielberg serving as executive producer through Amblin Partners.
Universal Pictures, a division of NBCUniversal, handles theatrical distribution and home entertainment for the franchise, while Amblin Entertainment retains production oversight. The studio has integrated the series into its broader content strategy alongside other major tentpole franchises. The film features returning characters such as Dr. Alan Grant, Dr. Ellie Sattler, and Dr. Ian Malcolm alongside the original Jurassic World cast.
Streaming and Home Entertainment Release
Following its theatrical run, Jurassic World Dominion became available on Peacock, the streaming service owned by NBCUniversal. The film also launched on digital purchase and rental platforms, including Amazon Prime Video and Apple TV, through Universal Pictures Home Entertainment. Physical media releases on Blu-ray, 4K Ultra HD, and DVD followed, distributed by Studio Distribution Services, a joint venture between Universal Pictures Home Entertainment and Warner Bros. Home Entertainment.
Home entertainment revenue has become a significant part of the franchise's overall financial model, with digital sales and physical disc formats contributing to total lifetime gross beyond theatrical earnings. The film's availability on Peacock aligns with NBCUniversal's strategy to drive subscriber growth through exclusive content from its film library.
Future Projects and Franchise Expansion
As of the latest public announcements, Universal and Amblin have not greenlit a direct sequel to Jurassic World Dominion. Development has focused on other projects within the broader Jurassic IP, including the animated series Jurassic World: Chaos Theory, which premiered on Netflix and is produced by DreamWorks Animation Television. The series explores events set decades after the original Jurassic Park storyline.
Franchise expansion also includes theme park attractions operated by Merlin Entertainments under license from Universal Destinations & Experiences. Universal's parent company NBCUniversal reported on franchise-related revenue in its annual SEC filing. The Jurassic franchise remains one of the highest-grossing film series globally, with cumulative box office earnings exceeding $5 billion across all films.
