A new trailer for the second season of Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous has debuted today courtesy of our friends at Entertainment Weekly – and it provides an exciting look at the next set of adventures which the kids will find themselves thrust into now Isla Nublar is abandoned.
The trailer starts of relatively normally – with the kids attempting to find some way to communicate with people off of the island after realising that they were left behind in the wake of the Jurassic World incident. The kids eventually find their way to Main Street, where they encounter Rexy inside the Tyrannosaurus Kingdom. We also see a makeshift camp which the kids have constructed in the ruins of the old Camp here – providing an interesting base-of-operations for the second season of the show. The camp, in particular, almost has a Robinson Crusoe vibe to it, which is pretty cool to see mimicked in a Jurassic project. This is much more a handmade structure than an existing one like Eric found on Isla Sorna in JPIII.
We are treated to a few more fun shots here – including a gorgeous call-back to the lake seen in the original Jurassic Park, before we get an interesting reveal; the kids managed to get a signal off of Nublar, and presumably to a rescue party. We cut through a few more shots – revealing the group of Baryonyx who we believe will be antagonists in the second season, as well as a much clearer look at the Ceratosaurus from the first trailer, which appears to be presented in a much darker colour palette than the one seen in JPIII. We see a few more sequences – including one with the kids notably using what appears to be Owen’s motorbike, before we end with the biggest revelation of the entire trailer – the kids are not alone on Isla Nublar.
As a Ceratosaurus approaches the group they are saved, at the last minute, by a flare which is shot from off the screen – and we hear them state that they are not alone. Whilst this could be the return of Ben, who we know is alive and separated from the group, the sense of revelation in this moment makes it feel as though it may be someone knew – like a group from the menacing Mantah Corp who were first referenced in the first season of the show. It could, however, be other survivors from the incident also abandoned on the Island – so it is safe to say there are lots of questions and little answers right now!
With that said, this trailer has us incredibly excited for Season 2 of Camp Cretaceous. Rather than a simple ‘survive and escape’ story, it looks as if the journey the kids are on may be about to take a much darker twist – and we are excited to see where that may take us. We are also excited to see more of the ruined park in the second instalment of the season, and are really excited to see a ‘new’ swarm of returning Dinosaurs wreak havoc across Isla Nublar.
Camp Cretaceous Season 2 is now confirmed to debut on January the 22nd, 2021 on Netflix. Be sure to check out our video breakdown below.
