Attention: This article contains revealing spoilers for Jurassic World: Chaos Theory!
As Jurassic World: Chaos Theory enters its third season, it introduces a compelling new timeline connection that presents intriguing challenges for the forthcoming fourth season. This Netflix series has successfully carved a niche for itself within the expansive Jurassic Park franchise, seamlessly intertwining its storyline with existing films while also standing on its own. In its earlier seasons, the series subtly ties into the larger narrative, particularly aligning with the final film of the Jurassic World trilogy. A notable link in this connection is Soyona Santos, known as The Broker, who serves as a thread that weaves these plots together.
The brilliance of the series lies in its initial approach to connections, allowing it to establish a unique identity separate from the main films. However, the conclusion of season 3 makes a bold move by directly linking the narrative to Jurassic World Dominion, as four members of the Nublar Six venture into the dangerous Malta dinosaur black market. The events unfold with the arrest of Soyona Santos as well as a raid conducted by French Intelligence, both depicted from a fresh perspective. This pivotal development raises a significant concern for the trajectory of season 4 of Jurassic World: Chaos Theory.
Nublar Six Meets Jurassic World Dominion
Nublar Six Headed to Biosyn Headquarters
Season 3 kicks off with the intriguing inclusion of Barry Sembene from the Jurassic World trilogy, enabling the expansion of both Barry and Soyona’s characters, and highlighting their roles within the illicit dinosaur trade. The season culminates with Barry apprehending Soyona, closing this chapter of the Nublar Six’s storyline, yet it also lays the groundwork for exciting developments in season 4, where they may encounter key characters from the movies.
In a twist of fate, Soyona summons a helicopter for escape just prior to her capture, offering the main characters a chance to continue their quest. Barry, choosing to overlook this opportunity, allows Darius, Brooklynn, Yaz, and Ben to embark on a mission to thwart the schemes of Lewis Dodgson at Biosyn’s research facility nestled in the Italian Dolomites. Meanwhile, Kenji and Sammy remain outside the Biosyn Sanctuary, focused on locating Bumpy. This scenario places all six central characters in the same setting as the protagonists of Jurassic World Dominion.
Avoid Overcrowding: The Challenge of Including Characters from Jurassic World Dominion
Netlix Show Risks Overcrowding with Multiple Characters
The introduction of Soyona Santos into Jurassic World: Chaos Theory proves logically sound as her role was lesser in the films, allowing for significant character development. Her involvement in the illegal dinosaur sales provides a crucial plot device for the series. However, caution is warranted regarding the potential inclusion of all main characters from Jurassic World Dominion in season 4.
Incorporating an additional six characters would clutter the narrative and divert focus from the core strengths of the show. The dynamics among the existing six characters already create a dense storyline. Moreover, based on past trends, any new characters may end up being recast, undermining the legacy of the established trio. While introducing one or two minor characters might be feasible, the show should refrain from bringing in established leads like Claire, Kayla, and Owen.
One Supporting Character Who Could Fit: Ramsay Cole
Ramsay Cole: A Beneficial Addition to the Plot
If there is room to integrate characters from Jurassic World Dominion, Ramsay Cole emerges as the prime candidate. A key whistleblower in the fight against Biosyn’s rogue activities, Ramsay’s motivations align closely with those of the Nublar Six. His presence could serve as a valuable asset to the storyline.
Notably, while he plays a role in many significant scenes throughout Jurassic World Dominion, Ramsay often finds himself separated from the principal group, allowing for potential interactions with the Nublar Six without overwhelming the narrative structure. Rather than crowding the series with numerous iconic characters, focusing on Ramsay’s character would effectively support the unfolding story in Jurassic World: Chaos Theory for its fourth season.
