According to Inside the Magic, the success of HBO's upcoming Harry Potter series has Hollywood eyeing another beloved franchise for the small-screen treatment — and Jurassic Park may be next in line for a full TV reboot.
Why a Jurassic Park Series Changes Everything
Think about what a prestige TV format could actually do with Michael Crichton's world. The original 1993 film — brilliant as it is — had roughly two hours to establish InGen, Isla Nublar, and a cast of characters rich enough to carry a dozen episodes on their own. A serialized series could dig into the science, the corporate ethics, the chaos theory, and the human drama in ways that even six theatrical films never quite managed. For fans, this isn't just exciting news — it's an open casting conversation, and it starts right now.
The key roles are iconic enough that recasting them feels genuinely high-stakes: Dr. Alan Grant's gruff paleontologist charm, Ellie Sattler's sharp intellect and warmth, Ian Malcolm's leather-jacketed philosopher-rockstar energy, and John Hammond's grandfatherly megalomania. Getting these right could define the reboot. Getting them wrong would be heard from space.
What myCast Fans Are Already Saying
The myCast community hasn't waited for an official greenlight — fans have already been building out dream casts across multiple stories, and the picks are genuinely compelling.
In the most-voted story, Jurassic Park, Brie Larson leads the pack as Dr. Ellie Sattler with 15 votes — the single highest vote total for any individual pick across all three stories. It's not hard to see why: Larson brings the right combination of scientific credibility and fierce determination that the role demands. Millie Bobby Brown is close behind with 12 votes for Lex Murphy, which makes a lot of sense given how much of her career has been built on playing resourceful young characters under pressure. For Alan Grant, John Krasinski leads with 8 votes — a pick that rewards some thought. He's got the everyman likability, and his work in A Quiet Place proved he can carry a survival thriller with real weight.
The Ian Malcolm conversation is where things get interesting. pulls 5 votes in the story, which is a genuinely left-field choice — but not a bad one. Malcolm needs charisma to burn and a slightly theatrical quality, and Evans has both. Meanwhile, a separate fan cast over at throws into the Malcolm conversation with a vote of his own, and honestly? That's an inspired suggestion that deserves more attention. For John Hammond, fans are split between (4 votes in the main story) and and in the other stories — all three are distinguished British actors with the gravitas to make Hammond's dangerous idealism land. earns votes in two different stories, suggested for both Ray Arnold and Dr. Alan Grant, which tells you something about how highly fans regard him for this world. as the weaselly Dennis Nedry (4 votes) is the kind of pick that seems obvious in retrospect.
