There are quite a few upcoming dinosaur-related series and movies coming in 2024 and 2025.
Which ones are you excited for and which ones did I forget? :)
Of course, there's Forgotten Bloodlines: Agate, qhich to be honest, I'm most excited for. It's all about the fauna of Agate Fossil Beds in Nebraska, 20 million years ago. It's featuring the great Nigel Marven as narrator and its coming in early 2025 (hopefully).
It's amazing how a project made by a group of amateurs (no offense to the creators) looks better than paleo docs made by professional studios (maybe even Life On Our Planet).
Dinosaur Empire, from what I know, seems to be a dinosaur documentary that features segments without narration, like Dinotasia. David Krentz, who has worked on design and character creation for countless other film projects (helped design for Prehistoric Planet, I think), is co-directing. Hopefully this doesn't mean anthropomorphic dinosaurs.
Like FBA, this series was on Kickstarter. It looks pretty good in terms of CGI and dinosaur designs. Coming in March 2024 unless delayed.
Unlike the other paleo docs here, Why Dinosaurs? focuses on dino fans today. It appears to be all about people who love dinosaurs and why they do. Looks like a few popular paleontologists (Jack Horner, Peter Larson, etc.) are hopping on to talk.
This dinosaur documentary, creatively titled T. rex, is all about T. rex. The Rex on the poster looks pretty great in terms of accuracy, and hopefully we finally get T. rex recreated properly onscreen (the description says it aims to do so).
he production company also made some other paleo docs in the past, such as Titans of the Ice Age.
Then of course, there's Surviving Earth. Not much is known, except that Tim Haines (Walking With...) is making it, 8 episodes will be featured, and that it's streaming on NBC. hopefully it's as good as Walking With Dinosaurs was in 1999.
There is also ARK: The Animated Series, an anime show based on a video game about riding dinosaurs and punching trees. This show is never coming out.
Even though none if you have heard of the Jurassic Park franchise 🗿, I don't have time to explain it. However, an unnamed 7th Jurassic film has been confirmed for 2025. The only big news so far is that David Koepp, who wrote the first 2 films, is returning to write this one.
What do you think it will be titled?
