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 doubt 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 third highest-grossing movie of all-time, having recently overtaken The Avengers. It sits behind only Avatar and Titanic.

Released in mid-June, the dinosaur epic also toppled The Avengers's hold on the all-time biggest North American opening with $208.8m in ticket sales.
The movie took place 22 years after the events of Jurassic Park, with the dream of mogul John Hammond (Richard Attenborough) more alive than ever in a thriving dinosaur theme park.
However, the meddlesome park operators InGen unknowingly unleash the most deadly dinosaur massacre yet by genetically creating a creature known as the Indominus rex.
Jurassic World left several plot strands unresolved for a potential sequel, most notably InGen's interest in weaponising its creations.
