Following the film's success, Crichton wrote a sequel novel, titled ''[[The Lost World (Crichton novel)|The Lost World]]'' and released in 1995. Spielberg and Koepp returned respectively as director and writer for the 1997 film adaptation, ''[[The Lost World: Jurassic Park]]''.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.lost-world.com/Site_B/notes_prod2.html|title= Encore section|website=Lost-World.com|archive-date= July 12, 2018|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20180712103640/http://www.lost-world.com/Site_B/notes_prod2.html|url-status= live}}</ref> Crichton did not write any further novels in the series, although additional films would be made, featuring previously unused elements from the two books.
