Second Configuration

The *Third Configuration* is the third major part of the *JurassicVerse*, and is set to be releasing entries into the JurassicVerse from January 13, 2023, beyond June 13, 2025. The *Third Configuration* is the first to bear a live-action television series, and the first to bear an animated film. This part of the *JurassicVerse* has also been named *Chapter Three*, and on many occasions *Phase Three*.

## Overview

The *Third Configuration* is set throughout the Jurassic timeline, with the latter half directly following the events of *Jurassic World: Dominion*, and *Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous*, being the catalysts for the phase's events. The phase is set to adapt many characters introduced in non-canon media of phases one and two, into the greater JurassicVerse, such as *Rafael Santos* and *Daniel Niedermeyer*, as well as introduce many new characters into the connected universe

## History

### Pre-Dominion

The *Third Configuration* was referenced as far back as 2021, when Jurassic World: Dominion Producer *Frank Marshall* referred to more films coming after *Dominion* (I.E. The End of Phase Two). *Phase Three* was once again referred to in October of 2021, when it was announced that a series starring *Pedro Pascal* and *Holly Taylor*, was in development (Which would later come to be Jurassic World: House of Santos). Once again, in February of 2022, at the Superbowl, it was announced that Jake Johnson would be starring in a new Jurassic World TV Series (Jurassic World: DSD).

### Post-Dominion

On June 10, 2022, the Jurassic World: Dominion post-credit scene showed the first partial release slate for the first two years of the *Third Configuration*, confirming Jurassic World: House of Santos*,* Kash, DSD*,* Explorers*,* an untitled DreamWorks Animated Film, and an untitled Live Action Film. On September 14, 2022, Universal Pictures announced the DreamWorks Animated Film will be Camp Cretaceous-Centric, and on November 11, Universal then announced that the new live-action film, releasing on June 13, 2025, would begin filming in Fall of the next year.

### The Gap Period

On November 24, 2022, during the Thanksgiving NFL Game, Universal Pictures announced the title for Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous: And the House of Kon and Jurassic World: World Tour, and announced a second and third season/part for Jurassic World: House of Santos, and Jurassic World: DSD. On December 1st, Shazia Nicholls was added to the cast for *House of Santos*, and *DSD* as Kajal Dua, an adaptation of the character from Jurassic World: Evolution 2. On December 4th, Universal released the official trailer for House of Santos, and revealed the full cast, as well as announcing a new trailer airing simultaneously on ABC's Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve Special 2022 and NBC's Miley's New Year's Eve Party. On December 11, 2022, DreamWorks officially released the cast and first poster for *Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous: And the House of Kon*, and announced the film to release on September 19, 2024. On December 30, 2022, only two weeks before the beginning of the phase, it was announced that Scott Kreamer would be co-directing *Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous: And the House of Kon* alongside other directors of the main series, and that Bryce Dallas-Howard would be directing *Jurassic World: World Tour*.

### The Configuration Begins

On January 13, Jurassic World: House of Santos began airing, marking the beginning of the configuration. On January 15, two days after the start of the configuration, it was reported that a fifth Jurassic World film would be coming to the JurassicVerse at some point in the late 2020-S, but Bryce Dallas-Howard would not be coming back to direct the sequel. Less than a week later, on January 20, it was again reported that *Hannah John-Kamen* would be leaving the role of Ava Starr / Ghost in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and would come to play the villain for Jurassic World: World Tour.

On February 3, Universal Pictures announced that Dichen Lachman was set to return for *Jurassic World: House of Santos* after a first season absence, also that *Lisa Kudrow* would be portraying an older Maria Ramirez, and that *Randall Park* and *Tenoch Huerta* had been cast in unknown, starring roles. On February 9, it was reported that Jurassic World: Explorers, the second animated series, would have a total of four seasons, and would run from Fall 2023, to Fall 2024, as well as *Jurassic World 5* releasing anywhere from December 2026, to June 2027. On February 11, it was then reported that Universal Pictures was producing a Jurassic Park prequel series titled [Jurassic World:] Hammond, and that it was slated to release in late 2024, and the same week, Lisa Kudrow confirmed that the second season of *House of Santos* would begin filming in March 2023, shortly after the ending of the first season of the series

On March 5, following his cameo in the finale of *Jurassic World: House of Santos* as *Jeremiah Fischer*, *Paul Reiser* commented, stating that if [really when] the character returns, he will not be playing him, and that he'll most likely be replaced due to the time jump. On March 7, Universal Pictures officially announced that the first JurassiCon event will take place in the *United Center* in Chicago, and that the event, labeled as JP30, would move cities annually.

On April 1, presumably as an April Fools joke, the Jurassic World twitter account *confirmed* that the second trailer for Jurassic World: DSD would release the next evening at the *MLB Game*. The next day, the trailer did in-fact release during the seventh inning stretch. On April 28, It was announced that filming for the second season of Jurassic World: House of Santos had wrapped, and that a trailer could be expected by the early summer.

On May 1, the JP30 event tickets went on Pre-Sale, with the studio announcing multiple different announcements for the event, including the Trailers for Jurassic World: House of Santos: Season Two and Jurassic World: Explorers, as well as multiple games. On May 19, it was reported by numerous sources that a sequel series to the 2019 short film Battle at Big Rock was in the early stages of development, but would not be a network show and would likely come to Peacock or Netflix. On May 26, when asked about the Jurassic World IP on NBC, multiple executives mentioned that they would be moving some projects to streaming releases first, and that Jurassic World: House of Santos would be moving to Thursday Night airing, and DSD with Tuesday Airings, and that later projects would be joining the Sunday schedule. On May 27, it was then confirmed by the Jurassic World Twitter Account that a Jurassic World HBO series was in development, and would serve as a sequel to the upcoming season of House of Santos, and Jurassic World: Dominion, and would serve as a prequel to Jurassic world: World Tour
