Yet ANOTHER Lego Jurassic Show is Coming… Why?

While you would think that NBCUniversal’s streaming platform Peacock would be the perfect place for a live-action Jurassic World series, the executives in charge of programming would seemingly disagree. Today, Peacock announced that an animated special 65 million bricks in the making is coming soon to the platform.
“The Unofficial Retelling”, whatever that means, is yet another piece of Lego Jurassic World media that very few are asking for and begs the question: why?
The Jurassic World era has ushered in a wealth of tie-ins, merchandise, and shows but the problem is that they are all geared towards the younger audience, leaving the older audience – those that grew up with the first trilogy – not much to enjoy. Where’s the video game? Where’s the mature live-action series? Where are the comics, the books, the graphic novels?
I’m sure the younger audience will get a kick out of this new show but I know I’m not alone in the frustration of hearing that we “should expect more from the franchise later this year”, knowing it’s going to be more of this.
