Jurassic World Renaissance, the latest chapter in the Jurassic World franchise, lands on Canal+ on Friday, April 17, 2026 at 9:10 p.m. Directed by Gareth Edwards and featuring Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali, and Jonathan Bailey, the film hit theaters in July 2025. This TV slot puts the episode squarely in the saga’s ongoing arc, which shifts the lead cast while returning to an adventure‑and‑survival frame focused on a brand-new mission.

Original title: Jurassic World: Rebirth
Country: United States
The plot unfolds five years after Jurassic World: Dominion. The surviving dinosaurs are now clustered in isolated equatorial zones, and three specimens could hold the key to a remedy touted as humanity’s turning point. The film follows an operation led by Zora Bennett, played by Scarlett Johansson, in a tropical setting that shifts the action away from the saga’s most familiar landmarks.
This seventh feature film also marks David Koepp's return to the screenplay. The author of Jurassic Park and The Lost World reconnects with the franchise on an original story, while Gareth Edwards—who has already crossed paths with giant-creature universes via Godzilla and Rogue One: A Star Wars Story—takes the helm behind the camera. This pairing signals a clear repositioning: preserving the series' heritage while opening a new arc without reviving the central figures from the previous installments.
The cast also includes Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, Luna Blaise, and a slate of newcomers breaking into the Jurassic universe. This distancing from the series’ veteran characters sets Jurassic World Renaissance apart from the latest chapters, even as the film touts a revival of the saga’s core elements—its spirit of scientific exploration, remote isolation, and the struggle to survive creatures that have simply become uncontrollable again.
Among the most touted production elements, principal photography unfolded across Thailand, Malta, the United Kingdom and the United States, with a planned use of life-size animatronics to complement the digital effects. Composer Alexandre Desplat provides the score, continuing a franchise whose original John Williams theme remains one of its most instantly recognizable hallmarks.
