Steven Spielberg’s New Dinosaur Show Just Launched on Netflix

by

Steven Spielberg’s 1993 film, Jurassic Park, revolutionized how dinosaurs were shown on screen and established him as a leading director in the genre. Now, over three decades later, Spielberg is revisiting this passion with a new four-part dinosaur series available on Netflix, continuing a hugely successful and long-lasting franchise.

On March 6th, Netflix released The Dinosaurs, a new documentary executive produced by Steven Spielberg. Created by the team behind the acclaimed Our Planet and narrated by Morgan Freeman, the four-part series takes viewers on a journey back to the age of dinosaurs. It explores the harsh realities of prehistoric life and chronicles the dinosaurs’ 150-million-year reign, from their beginnings to their extinction. All four episodes are currently available to stream on Netflix.

Steven Spielberg’s The Dinosaurs Is Perfect for Jurassic Park Fans

While another Jurassic World movie is planned, it will be a while before dinosaurs return to theaters. For fans needing a prehistoric fix, Netflix’s The Dinosaurs is a great option. This documentary offers a scientifically detailed look at dinosaurs – how they lived, evolved, and eventually became extinct – providing a fascinating companion to the adventure of the Jurassic Park films. Beyond familiar favorites like the T-Rex and Triceratops, the show also features lesser-known creatures such as Yutyrannus and Hatzegopteryx, offering a broader view of the dinosaur world.

While it’s too early to know how many people will tune in, the new show is already a hit. Its trailer racked up over 12 million views in just a month and quickly gained more attention on TikTok and Instagram than popular series like Bridgerton. The trailer offered a preview of The Dinosaurs, showcasing Morgan Freeman’s compelling narration and stunning visual effects – exactly what you’d expect from a dinosaur series directed by Spielberg. The show’s dinosaurs and prehistoric world are incredibly realistic thanks to state-of-the-art CGI from Industrial Light & Magic, and the meticulous detail alone makes it worth watching.

Will There Be a The Dinosaurs Season 2?

It doesn’t look like there will be another season of The Dinosaurs. The show debuted on Netflix as a limited series, meaning it was only planned for four episodes. While a second season isn’t impossible if a lot of people watch, it’s not likely. For now, viewers can enjoy the four episodes that are currently available.
