‘Dune’: where and how to watch all the movies and series before the prequel about the Bene Gesserit

The film industry is currently torn between two speeds. If a film grosses what was expected or slightly more, it is doomed to a long life of sequels, series and animated adaptations. If it gets a cent less than the producers expected, it will disappear forever. For months, it seemed that the latter would be the fate of Dunereleased in Spain in 2021, but it ended up being the first.

Gone are the promotions in which Denis Villeneuve cut to Chalamet and Zendaya to ask the viewer to go see his film. “If not, I won’t be able to do the next one,” he added. Their pleas paid off and not only is a third installment, subtitled, on the way. The Messiahbut this November 18th it premieres on Max The prophecyseries assigned to the universe Dune.

Where to watch ‘Dune’ and ‘Dune 2’?

With a formidable cast, Dune It was released in 2021 with two pending tasks: that of guaranteeing a sequel and that of convincing the public that there were films about galaxies far, far away that did not belong to Star Wars.

Is it necessary to see the movies before ‘The Prophecy’?

The plot of Dune: The Prophecy It takes us 10,000 years away from the appearance of an unpredictable Lisan al Gaib called Timothée Chalamet. Therefore, since it is a prequel (and to what extent!), It is not necessary to see the installments of Dune directed by Villeneuve. However, since this is a series about the creation of the Bene Gesserit sect, which is discussed in depth in the movies, you may enjoy it more if you already know the universe beforehand.
