I love a fish out of water story, and good lord, they don’t come much more fish-out-of-water-ish than The End of Oak Street!
One minute the Platt family’s neighbourhood sits cosily in unremarkable suburbia … the next, it’s millions of years in the past (maybe) and they are not in Kansas anymore, to paraphrase The Wizard of Oz.
The premise is audacious, the trailer teasingly intriguing and it holds all the promise of the mother of all survival stories.
Bring it on – dinos included!
The End of Oak Street releases 13 August 2026 in Australia.
