The Jurassic franchise is roaring back into the spotlight with Jurassic World Rebirth. But now, rumors suggest that a live-action Jurassic World television series is also in the works.
While Universal Pictures has yet to confirm these reports, industry insider @MyTimeToShineH (via ComicBookMovie.com) claims that a series is in development and will stream exclusively on Peacock, the home of several Universal properties.
Fans of the dinosaur-packed franchise have been speculating about a live-action series for years, especially after the success of the animated shows Camp Cretaceous and Chaos Theory. These series proved that streaming is fertile ground for the franchise, keeping the prehistoric excitement alive between major theatrical releases.
A live-action Jurassic series would mark a significant expansion for the franchise, which already boasts six blockbuster films, two animated shows, and a live-action short film, Battle at Big Rock (2019). Directed by Colin Trevorrow, the short teased the chaotic world left behind after dinosaurs escaped into modern-day society—an idea ripe for episodic storytelling.
Details on the rumored project are non-existent, but if true, the series could explore fresh storylines beyond the central narrative of the films.
Fans have theorized about potential settings, including a focus on dinosaur black markets or the global fallout from Jurassic World: Dominion (2022). However, with the upcoming movie Jurassic World Rebirth set to launch a “new era” of the franchise on July 2, 2025, it’s unclear how the series might tie into the evolving canon.

Peacock has been steadily building its catalogue of exclusive content, and a Jurassic World series would be a major draw for subscribers. If true, will it feature familiar faces, or will it introduce a new cast of characters navigating a world overrun by dinosaurs? Only time will tell.
For now, Jurassic enthusiasts will have to wait for more official news, but the idea of a live-action series is bound to excite audiences who can’t get enough of the prehistoric adventures that have captivated the world for decades.
