Every Jurassic World Movie Character Who Returns In Netflix’s Chaos Theory Show

Warning: This article includes MAJOR SPOILERS for Jurassic World: Chaos Theory season 3!

Netflix’s Jurassic World: Chaos Theory brings back multiple characters from the Jurassic World movies, creating a narrative throughline that makes the Netflix show integral to the overall story. Author Michael Crichton had screenplay and filmmaking experience, so his 1990 novel Jurassic Park was bound for success. However, there’s no way he could’ve predicted that the book would be the basis for one of the most iconic, multi-billion-dollar onscreen franchises of all time.

The six feature-length Jurassic Park movies are the biggest draw for fans, but the franchise also includes two incredible animated TV shows. Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous introduces the Nublar Six – the main characters for the sequel series Jurassic World: Chaos Theory. However, the newer Netflix series also brings back characters from the Jurassic World movies, tying the animated series directly into the events of the films.

5 Soyona Santos

Santos Has Functioned As The Overarching Villain For Jurassic World: Chaos Theory

Though The Broker’s identity in Jurassic World: Chaos Theoryremained a mystery throughout season 1, the second season reveals her to be Soyona Santos. In Jurassic World Dominion, she’s a dinosaur smuggler who illegally breeds the reptiles and runs the Malta black market.

Jurassic World: Chaos Theory does a great job of expanding the villain, showing just how much work she does to run the illegal dinosaur trade. She not only sells and trades dinosaurs, but she’s involved in cloning and genetically modifying them as well.

The finale of Jurassic World: Chaos Theory season 3 brings an end to one plotline but sets up a major crossover with Jurassic World: Dominion.

Additionally, her relationship with Brooklynn humanizes her in a strange way. Santos is still analytical and manipulative throughout Jurassic World: Chaos Theory. However, she’s actually shown caring about and connecting with the teal-haired young woman. Santos has patience that’s unprecedented for the character. That being said, her empathy is also limited, as the illegal business tycoon is still willing to kill Brooklynn if it comes down to it.

4 Barry Sembene

The French Intelligence Agent Who's Taking Down The Illegal Dinosaur Trade

Since Jurassic World: Chaos Theory focuses on the Malta dinosaur black market, Barry Sembene’s inclusion felt entirely natural. The character appears in both Jurassic World (2015) and Jurassic World Dominion (2022). He’s responsible for arresting Soyona Santos in Jurassic World Dominion, so he would be necessary for the takedown in the Netflix show, too.

Luckily, Jurassic World: Chaos Theory didn’t just copy and paste the character’s scenes in animated format. Season 3 expands his story, showing more of the lead-up to the black market’s raid. Additionally, the actual arrest gets more time and attention, showing how the Nublar Six helped Sembene during the takedown.

3 Lewis Dodgson

The Jurassic Park Franchise Villain Appears In Jurassic World: Chaos Theory Season 3

The Jurassic Park franchise’s main antagonist is Dr. Lewis Dodgson, the scientist who eventually leads Biosyn. He directly appears in Jurassic Park, Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous, and Jurassic World: Dominion. Dodgson is also an unseen villain in The Lost World, Jurassic Park III, Jurassic World, and Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom.

Jurassic World: Chaos Theory season 3 continues this dark animated pocket of the franchise with plenty of connections to the movies and a major death.

Given his impact on the story, Lewis Dodgson’s appearance in Jurassic World: Chaos Theory season 3 makes complete sense. He only shows up onscreen briefly when meeting with Sonoya Santos to arrange the Biosyn agreement. However, his presence is felt throughout the latter half of the season.

Since Jurassic World Dominion crosses timelines with Jurassic World: Chaos Theory, he could also potentially appear in season 4. It would be unnecessary, though, since Dodgson dies in the movie.

2 The Atrociraptor Pack

The Atrociraptors Work Under The Control Of The Handler

While many dinosaurs from the original Jurassic World movies appear in Jurassic World: Chaos Theory, they aren’t significant and distinctive enough in the story to be considered characters. However, two exceptions exist. The first is the Atrociraptor pack that appears in Jurassic World Dominion. Santos uses Ghost, Tiger, Red, and Pathera as weapons against Owen Grady and Claire Dearing in the final movie of the Jurassic World trilogy.

Similarly, the four Atrociraptors act as major antagonists for the Nublar Six in three seasons of Jurassic World: Chaos Theory. Although Darius thinks the Allosaurus took Brooklynn’s life, the Atrociraptors actually attacked her, biting off her arm. The Handler then sends them after the remaining members of the group, trying to kill the Nublar Six since they’re getting too close to discovering the global conspiracy.

1 The Pyroraptor

A Ferocious Feathered Dinosaur That's Out For Blood

The other dinosaur character who appears in Jurassic World: Chaos Theory is the Pyroraptor from Jurassic World Dominion. Based on the in-universe timeline, the dinosaur first appears in Jurassic World: Chaos Theory season 3 in a small Italian town. Kenji and Darius come across it in the middle of a blizzard, so they don’t know what kind of dinosaur actually caused the damage to the car.

The Nublar Six (minus Brooklynn) and Gia become confused when they find a feather on the car. While they suspect the Archeopteryx as the source, it’s eventually revealed that Jurassic World Dominion’s coolest dinosaur, a murderous pyroraptor, is on the loose. Luckily, Jurassic World: Chaos Theory season 3 hugely improves the dinosaur, making it a more terrifying villain.
