Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard will be back for another prehistoric adventure when a Jurassic World sequel opens in 2018.

Universal Pictures officially announced today (July 23) that a follow-up to this year’s record-breaking box office titan will be released on Friday June 22, 2018.

Jurassic World director Colin Trevorrow is back in the fold to pen the sequel’s screenplay with Derek Connolly, despite having initially cast doubts on his return to the franchise.

An announcement of a sequel comes as little surprise, given that Jurassic World is the highest-grossing movie ever distributed by Universal.

Jurassic World also currently sits as the fourth highest-grossing movie of all-time, behind only Avatar, Titanic and The Avengers.
