"Dino Dex" is a new 13-episode series due in 2024 which "will follow nine-year-old Dex, who is an artist, disruptor, and paleontologist in training. Like Dan, Trek, and Dana before him, Dex uses the Dino Field Guide and has a magical ability to see dinosaurs in the real world but he envisions them differently, wanting to reconsider how they look, act eat and more using his artistic eye. His neighbor Kayla, who loves rocks and geology, comes along for the ride as the pair re-examine everything known about the prehistoric creatures." J.J. Johnson is presumably among the auspices.
