Life finds a way… to continue making more Jurassic World movies. With two trilogies already completed and a new movie just released, the Jurassic Park franchise doesn't show signs of stopping. If you're wondering how to watch the Jurassic Park movies in order followed by the Jurassic World movies in order, you're in the right place.

As we exit the briefly dormant period of the franchise after the Jurassic World movies finished its trilogy, it's time now to take these movies — and the TV show — out of amber and appreciate it once again… or for the first time, if you've never seen one of these classic dinosaur movies.

While you might recall the Jurassic seven films, we must point out the excellent Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous animated series too; don't let the kid-label fool you: it's excellent entertainment, and is bolstered by watching the movies alongside it.

Jurassic Park movies and Jurassic World movies in release order

Speaking as someone who watched Jurassic Park in theaters back when it was released in 1993 and reveled in that IMAX-quality speaker system of my local movieplex, the best way to watch the Jurassic Park in order and Jurassic World movies in order is in the order in which they were released.

In fact, watching them in quick succession - especially the second and third parts of each trilogy - give you some added resonance for the serialized story told in those chapters.

Here's how to watch the Jurassic Park movies, Jurassic World movies, and TV show in release order:

• Jurassic Park (1993)
• The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997)
• Jurassic Park III (2001)
• Jurassic World (2015)
• Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018)
• Battle at Big Rock (2019)
• Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous (2020)
• Jurassic World Dominion prologue (2021)
• Jurassic World Dominion (2022)
• Jurassic World Rebirth (2025)
  
  

Jurassic Park movies and Jurassic World movies in chronological order

While the Jurassic Park movies are released in fairly chronological order, 2021's Jurassic World Dominion prologue is set way back in the time of the dinosaurs. Also, the Netflix animated series Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous from 2020 actually takes place in the Jurassic timeline from 2015 to 2018, between the first two Jurassic World films.

Here's how to watch the Jurassic franchise in chronological order:

• 65 mllion year ago: Jurassic World Dominion prologue
• 1993: Jurassic Park
• 1997: The Lost World: Jurassic Park
• 2001: Jurassic Park III
• 2015: Jurassic World
• 2015-2018: Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous
• 2018: Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom
• 2019: Battle at Big Rock
• 2022: Jurassic World Dominion
• 2025: Jurassic World Rebirth
  
  

Where to stream the Jurassic Park and Jurassic World movies?

Just as the dinosaurs get on the loose in any Jurassic Park or Jurassic World film, the streaming options for the six movies (and the TV show) are also hard to track down.

As of right now, all of the films except the latest, Jurassic World: Rebirth, are available to be streamed on both DirecTV and Fubo. Dominion is available as part of an Amazon Prime Video subscription.

The Netflix series remains available on that streaming service, but is also available for purchase on Amazon Prime Video - as are the first six movies.

The two shorts are available for free on YouTube.

Will there be new Jurassic Park or Jurassic World movies or TV shows?

2022's Jurassic World: Dominion is the end of the second trilogy, but not the end of the franchise. Producer Frank Marshall said in two years prior to Dominion that the film would be "the start of a new era" - one in which dinosaurs would be actively living on the mainland, and humans would be dealing with it. Marshall doubled down on that later, specifying that more films are intended.

That movie ended up being Jurassic World Rebirth, which starred Scarlett Johannsen, Mahershala Ali, and Johnathan Bailey as a new team sent to an island inhabited by dinosaurs to retrieve DNA samples from three of the biggest of the creatures while avoiding some of InGen's most horrifying mutant dinosaurs. The ending left the door open to more Jurassic Park movies in the future without explicitly setting any up.

Why is Chris Pratt not in Jurassic World Rebirth?

As the lead who became the face of the Jurassic Park movies when they switched to the Jurassic World title, you might expect Chris Pratt to continue starring in future films. However, he is nowhere to be seen. The studio opted for a soft reboot of the Jurassic World franchise, bringing in a totally new cast and tackling totally new issues from what we saw before. Jurassic World Rebirth is the start of a new age for the series, hence why Chris Pratt wasn't brought back. 

How Many Jurassic movies are there total?

With two trilogies and a soft reboot, it can be confusing to keep the Jurassic Park movies straight in your head. In total, there are seven movies in the Jurassic Park and Jurassic World series. Jurassic World Rebirth might share part of its title with the second half of the series, but it is very much a new start for the franchise.

Are all the Jurassic World movies connected?

With seven movies (and an animated series) spanning over 30 years, it can be tough to keep all the Jurassic Park movies straight. While they often tackle very different themes and have different casts, there is a narrative that runs through them all. That's why we recommend starting by watching the Jurassic Park movies in order and then the Jurassic World movies in order to complete the experience.
