Netflix announces animated Jurassic World series titled Camp Cretaceous... featuring six children stranded on the doomed Isla Nublar

The Jurassic Park franchise will expand into an animated TV series on Netflix in 2020.

On Tuesday, the streaming service announced, alongside Steven Spielberg's company DreamWorks, that Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous will be globally available next year, following a plot aimed for a younger audience.

The show will follow six children who have been selected for a summer camp on Isla Nublar - the site of the original Jurassic Park which was left in ruins in the 1993 classic, re-built and re-branded as Jurassic World in 2015's fourth instalment in the franchise, and destroyed in a volcanic eruption in 2018's Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.

Let's go camping: The Jurassic Park franchise will expand into an animated TV series on Netflix in 2020

The series is set in 2015, at the same time as the movie Jurassic World - which saw the film series rebooted by writer/director Colin Trevorrow, after being stuck in development hell since 2001's Jurassic Park III.

The story sees the six children staying in another corner of Isla Nublar - Camp Cretaceous - at an elite summer school for youngsters, away from the main functioning theme park.

The camp is a lower-key experience, according to synopsis, in which the children are allowed to be left alone.

But when the genetic disaster that is the Indominus Rex runs riot through the main park [as is the case in the 2015 movie], Camp Cretaceous falls into trouble too, leaving the children in danger.

Enter at your own risk: The gates for Camp Cretaceous are based on the original movies' park gates

Setting the scene: The show will follow six children who have been selected for a summer camp on Isla Nublar - which was destroyed in a volcanic eruption in 2018's Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom

In the film, Isla Nublar was evacuated, with all guests and staff at the park sent home, and the dinosaurs free to claim the land back for themselves.

But Camp Cretaceous sees the children miss out on the evacuation, left to fend for themselves on an island crawling with now-wild dinos.

The series will bridge a gap for fans of the franchise eagerly awaiting 2021's sixth Jurassic Park film, currently known as Jurassic World 3.

Little is known of the plot, with Trevorrow currently penning the script, set to direct it next year.

Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom - which grossed over $1 billion at the worldwide box office - saw a group of activists teaming up with the original Jurassic Park founder's [played by the late Richard Attenborough in the first two movies] former business partner to save the de-extinct dinosaurs of Isla Nublar from perishing in the island's soon-to-erupt volcano.

Premise: The camp is a lower-key experience, according to the show synopsis, in which the children are allowed to be left alone. But when the genetic disaster that is the Indominus Rex runs riot through the main park, Camp Cretaceous falls into trouble too

Camp Cretaceous will take place before Fallen Kingdom takes place [pictured: Bryce Dallas Howard in 2018's Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom]

While several species made it off the island, the Dinosaur Protection Group - led by Claire Dearing [played by returning star Bryce Dallas Howard] - learnt that they had been scammed, with the dinosaurs only being saved to be sold at auction for extortionate prices.

While this plan fell victim to the usual disastrous events that go hand-in-hand with a Jurassic Park film, the dinosaurs were set free at the end of the movie, left to roam the mainland.

Camp Cretaceous will take place before this, presumably seeing the children escape the island way before the volcanic eruption of Fallen Kingdom takes place.

Spielberg, Trevorrow and Frank Marshall - who have been involved in the franchise on the big screen - will executive produce.
