The long-awaited release of Denis Villeneuve’s Dune sequel has arrived, and there are options for where to watch Dune: Part Two. Nearly three years after the first part of Villeneuve’s adaptation of Frank Herbert’s sci-fi novel came out, the story of Paul Atreides finally continues. Audiences waited longer than expected for the Dune sequel, as it was originally announced with a November 2023 release date. Due to various delays, anyone wanting to watch Dune 2 had no choice but to wait to see one of 2024’s most anticipated movies.
Despite the delays, Dune 2‘s release differs greatly from the original. Due to the pandemic, Warner Bros. released 2021’s Dune on streaming the same day it debuted in theaters. A more traditional release plan is lined up, which is great after Dune 2‘s record-breaking Rotten Tomatoes. The sequel has an exclusive theatrical release first, meaning anyone wanting to watch it at home must wait longer than with the first film. Whether someone wants to watch Dune 2 in theaters at specific showtimes or at home through a variety of means, the decision comes down to when a viewing is desired.

It can be anywhere between 50 and 90 days after a film’s theatrical debut. Warner Bros.’s CEO David Zazlav (via The Direct) has indicated that Dune 2 will stream on Max in Spring 2024, which could be anywhere from March to June. Dune 2 performing well in theaters could push a streaming release until July 2024.
