Dino Dan is a Canadian television series that was created and is directed by J. J. Johnson. The series premiered on TVOKids in Canada on January 4, 2010 and on the Nick Jr. Channel in the United States on October 17, 2010. The show is produced by Sinking Ship Entertainment, in association with TVOKids,[1] Access, Knowledge Network, and SCN. A sequel of the series, Dino Dana,[2] premiered on Amazon Prime on May 26, 2017.[3] The show premiered on Universal Kids on October 6, 2018, three years after Nick Jr.'s rights to the series expired.[4] It was reported in February 2013 that CITV had acquired and secured rights to air the programme and eventually re-air it on the channel.[5][6]

Plot

In this series that combines live action with CGI animation, paleontologist-in-training Dan Henderson and his friends take a journey to a modern-day world where dinosaurs roam freely in the world. There, they have adventures, uncover clues about the past and teach children scientific information ranging from new species to dinosaur vocabulary.

Dino Dan: Trek's Adventures

A follow-up season starring Dan's younger brother, Trek, began airing in 2013. Trek, now age ten, is also able to see dinosaurs and spends his time learning about them as his brother did. There are fifteen new dinosaurs from Albertosaurus to Microraptor in this series. Dan did not have time to do his experiments because he has to help his father, so he asks Trek to do them for him. Although Trek becomes the main character for the episodes, Jason Spevack made periodic appearances as Dan throughout Trek's Adventures, though much of the adult cast remained largely unchanged.
