Jurassic World: Renaissance lands on Netflix on October 4, 2026. Directed by Gareth Edwards, this latest chapter of the saga teams up Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali, and Jonathan Bailey for a scientific expedition in an isolated region where dinosaurs still manage to survive.
The plot unfolds five years after Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom. Most dinosaurs can no longer adapt to the planet’s climate and are now confined to a few equatorial regions close to their original habitats.
Zora Bennett, a covert-ops specialist portrayed by Scarlett Johansson, is tasked with collecting genetic samples from three colossal beasts. Their DNA could pave the way for a treatment capable of saving countless human lives.
The mission takes a new turn when the team encounters a family whose boat was attacked by sea reptiles. They all find themselves stranded on an island that once housed a Jurassic Park research facility, where specimens have remained hidden for decades.
The seventh film marks David Koepp’s return to the screenplay. The writer of Jurassic Park and The Lost World helps steer a fresh casting approach, sidelining the franchise’s previous stars in favor of a new ensemble.
Mahershala Ali stars as Duncan Kincaid, the leader of Zora’s expedition, while Jonathan Bailey plays paleontologist Henry Loomis. Rupert Friend, Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, Luna Blaise, David Iacono, and Audrina Miranda round out the ensemble.
Filming stretched across Thailand, Malta, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Gareth Edwards blends digital effects with life-size animatronics, while Alexandre Desplat provides the film’s score.
