As Universal’s Jurassic World continues to expand, audiences have wondered when they’d potentially see a live-action TV series; however, little do they know that the perfect show already happened in 2006. Starring British naturalist Nigel Marven the serial was Jurassic Park in almost every way, except for the name. Airing on both National Geographic and Animal Planet, the docu-drama was considered a cult classic and a fun take on a wildlife sanctuary for extinct animals.

Seemingly inspired by previous shows such as Walking with Dinosaurs and The Crocodile Hunter, Prehistoric Park was a sci-fi docu-drama that explored a real-life Jurassic Park and the problems it would probably face. Focusing on the prehistoric animals rescued and the zookeepers who had to care for them, the miniseries ran for six episodes before concluding. Since then, the show’s legacy has subtly lived on, with host Nigel Marven making a cameo as a “documentarian” in Primeval and having narrated the trailer for the upcoming Prehistoric Kingdom game.

Nigel Marven’s miniseries is the perfect show for Jurassic World audiences who always wanted to get a glimpse of what it was like not only to walk with dinosaurs but work with them too.
