About Dune
Denis Villeneuve's Dune films adapt Frank Herbert's 1965 novel and its sequel across a planned trilogy. Part One arrived in 2021 and Part Two followed in March 2024. Timothee Chalamet plays Paul Atreides, heir turned Fremen leader on the desert planet Arrakis.
Part Three adapts Dune Messiah and releases December 18, 2026, per Warner Bros. and Legendary. Release order equals story order. One list covers the trilogy.
Good to know
David Lynch's Dune (1984) is a separate adaptation with no story connection, listed here for clarity rather than the main list. Dune: Prophecy, HBO's prequel series about the Bene Gesserit, premiered November 17, 2024 and was renewed for a second season expected in 2026. It sits about 10,000 years before the films, so watch it after Part Two if at all. Part Three filmed in 2025. If its December 2026 date slips, this guide will be updated.
