HBO Max hasn’t rolled out an official free trial for customers, so an HBO Max subscription is the only way to watch Dune online right now.

Is Dune (1984) Streaming Online?

Good news for HBO users: Once you have your HBO Max subscription, you’ll be able to stream both the latest Dune, as well as its earlier David Lynch-directed adaption from 1984, which features appearances by stars Kyle MacLachlan (who played Paul Atreides), Virginia Madsen and Sting.

Dune: Cast, Plot, Rating and Runtime

For the newest installment, Dune‘s cast of characters includes Chalamet (Paul Atreides), Zendaya (Chani), Isaac (Paul’s father Leto), Rebecca Ferguson (Lady Jessica), Sharon Duncan-Brewster (Dr. Liet-Kynes), Josh Brolin (Gurney Halleck), Jason Momoa (Duncan Idaho) and Javier Bardem (Stilgar). The film is rated PG-13, and it has a runtime of 2.5 hours.

For anyone who hasn’t read the book, Rolling Stone‘s ultimate Dune for Dummies” guide is a good place to start. And as Warner Bros. explains it, Dune “tells the story of Paul Atreides [Chalamet], a brilliant and gifted young man born into a great destiny beyond his understanding, who must travel to the most dangerous planet in the universe to ensure the future of his family and his people.”

Will There Be a Dune: Part Two?

Yes. Following its success at the box office, Dune is getting its Part Two.

“I just received news from Legendary that we are officially moving forward with Dune: Part Two,” Villeneuve said in October. “It was a dream of mine to adapt Frank Herbert’s Dune and I have the fans, the cast, and crew, Legendary and Warner Bros. to thank for supporting this dream. This is only the beginning.”

Dune: Part Two is set for October 2023.

How to Read the Dune Novel Before Seeing the Film

If you want to read the novel that inspired the movie (and its previous adaptions), you’ll want to order Frank Herbert’s 1965 bestseller. The book’s available in paperback and illustrated hardcover online, but you can also read it on Kindle or listen to the audiobook with a free Audible trial.
