I first saw Jurassic Park one fateful day during middle school when my teacher rolled in a cart topped with a CRT television, popped in a VHS tape and pressed play. I was instantly hooked and I've since watched the film countless times, including on a 2013 trip to see it in 3D on the big screen at my AMC theater.
Jurassic World: Rebirth hit cinemas on July 2, and I've been rewatching the entire series to get in the mood. With run times ranging from 1 hour and 32 minutes for Jurassic Park III to a whopping 2 hours and 27 minutes for Jurassic World: Dominion, binge-watching the franchise is a 12-hour-and-27-minute-long commitment. Or 14 minutes longer if you watch the 2-hour, 41-minute extended edition of Jurassic World: Dominion. But life finds a way. So if you're like me and want to watch all of the Jurassic Park and Jurassic World movies, here's where you can stream the series.
Based on my calculations, it'll take 12 hours and 27 minutes to watch all six of the previously released Jurassic Park and World movies (not including popcorn and bathroom breaks). If you watch Jurassic World: Dominion's extended edition rather than the theatrical cut, that balloons to 12 hours and 41 minutes. Screenshot/CNET
How many Jurassic Park and Jurassic World movies are there?
The Jurassic Park franchise consists of six currently released mainline films -- the original Jurassic Park trilogy alongside the Jurassic World trilogy. There are also two TV series, Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous and Jurassic World: Chaos Theory. Here's how to watch the entire Jurassic Park movie and TV show universe in chronological order by release date:
Jurassic Park (1993)
The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997)
Jurassic Park III (2001)
Jurassic World (2015)
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom (2018)
Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous (2020 TV series)
Jurassic World: Dominion (2022)
Jurassic World: Chaos Theory (2024 TV series)
Jurassic World: Rebirth (2025)
Do you need to watch the whole Jurassic Park franchise before Jurassic World: Rebirth?
Moe Long/CNET
You should watch the entire Jurassic Park series prior to Rebirth. There are many through lines and plot points connecting the movies, including the Jurassic World expansion expounding on the genetic experimentation themes from the original trilogy. Jurassic Park's sequel, The Lost World, saw the return of Ian Malcolm (Jeff Goldblum) and John Hammond (Richard Attenborough). Dr. Alan Grant (Sam Neill) and Dr. Ellie Sattler (Laura Dern) return in Jurassic Park III.
Jurassic World revived the franchise in 2015 with the action back on Isla Nublar -- where everything started in the original film -- this time with Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard starring. Goldblum returns in Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom alongside Pratt and Howard. Jurassic World: Dominion sits firmly in the middle of the Jurassic Park/Jurassic World Venn diagram, with franchise stars Pratt, Howard, Goldblum, Neill and Dern comprising the ensemble cast.
Although there's continuity among the entire series to varying degrees, the Jurassic World movies really build on one another. You may be able to skip Jurassic Park III if a nearly 13-hour marathon is biting off more than you can chew -- the film even takes place on a different island from the original, Isla Sorna. But Fallen Kingdom, Dominion and Rebirth are fairly interconnected, with critical world-building elements. So, although I recommend watching everything, you should at the very least watch Jurassic Park and The Lost World alongside the Jurassic World flicks.
In addition to the mainline films, there are a couple of spin-off TV series: Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous and Jurassic World: Chaos Theory. Both shows are canon and although you don't have to watch them to follow the film series, they’re additive, providing more of the franchise to explore for hard-core fans. Both Camp Cretaceous and Chaos Theory are available to stream on Netflix.
How to watch all of the Jurassic Park movies in order before Rebirth
The Jurassic Park trilogy -- Jurassic Park, The Lost World and Jurassic Park III -- is on Netflix. Both spin-off animated television series, Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous and Jurassic World: Chaos Theory, are also available on Netflix.
The Jurassic World series is more stratified. You can stream Jurassic World on Amazon Prime Video. Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is only available to stream via paid digital rentals or purchases, or from live TV streaming services like Hulu Plus Live TV. Peacock carries Jurassic World: Dominion.
If you don't have Netflix, Amazon Prime Video or Peacock and would prefer not to sign up for yet more streaming services, you can rent or buy the various Jurassic Park and World films from Amazon Prime Video, Fandango at Home and other digital video retailers.
Netflix Carries the Jurassic Park trilogy as well as Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous and Jurassic World: Chaos Theory Netflix lets you stream the entire Jurassic Park trilogy alongside both spin-off TV shows, Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous and Jurassic World: Chaos Theory.

When does Jurassic World: Rebirth come to streaming platforms?
Jurassic World: Rebirth is still in theaters, but I expect the film to be available on Peacock eventually. According to DVDs Release Dates, Jurassic World: Rebirth hit streaming video retailers like Prime Video for paid rentals and purchases on Aug. 5, 2025. According to Universal Pictures, Rebirth is coming to 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray, Blu-ray and DVD on Sept. 9, 2025.
Based on previous release schedules, I'm guessing Rebirth will be available on Peacock three to four months after its theatrical debut, meaning you'll probably be able to watch the movie at home via NBC's streaming service in October or November. Drop hit cinemas in April, for instance, and made its way to Peacock on July 11 -- three months later. Wicked, on the other hand, came out in November 2024, then followed the yellow brick road to Peacock in March 2025, four months after its box office debut.
