Fans of the Jurassic Park franchise, heads up: a Netflix Original series inspired by the dino-themed blockbusters is dropping this month - and it looks like epic telly for the whole family.

Landing on the streamer on 18th September, Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous is an animated series set against the timeline of the movie Jurassic World.

You can whet your appetite by watching the trailer here:

Playing out across eight 30-minute episodes, the spin-off follows a group of six teenagers who get trapped in a new adventure camp on the opposite side of Isla Nublar.

You can bet that things go from bad to worse. Dinosaurs are unleashed across the island, and each kid has to rely on their survival instincts to protect themselves and their fellow campers.

Unable to reach the outside world, the six teens form a strong bond as they rally together to survive the dinos and uncover hidden secrets so deep they threaten the world itself.

With themes of adventure, friendship and discovery, and jaw-dropping dinos from towering T-Rexes to peaceful Diplodocuses, the series ticks all the same boxes as the Jurassic Park franchise - all in a family-friendly, animated package.

Oh, and did we mention that the series is exec-produced by none other than Steven Spielberg, who packs some pretty major credentials?

Exec producers and showrunners for the series are Scott Kreamer (Pinky Malinky) and Lane Lueras (Kung Fu Panda: The Paws of Destiny).

Meanwhile, exec producers Frank Marshall and Colin Trevorrow serve alongside Steven Spielberg.
