How to watch “Dune” in the U.S.

Your best bet for watching “Dune” (2021) in the U.S. is to have Max, which can be purchased on its own through HBO or bundled with Disney+ and Hulu. This is also where you’ll find “Dune: Prophecy.” There are a few other ways to watch it, but most have a fee attached.

“Dune” and its sequel have begun to appear in scheduled programming on HBO channels, but the time varies between regions. “Dune: Prophecy” premieres on November 15, 2024, on HBO and the Max app. Your best bet is to check your local guide for streaming and broadcast times.

Max

Max, formerly known as HBO Max, is the streaming platform that houses HBO’s library. “House of the Dragon,” “The Last of Us,” and new shows like “Dune: Prophecy” all premiere here first. You can also find movies like “Dune.” Max solo plans start at $9.99/mo, while bundles with Hulu and Disney+ start at $16.99/mo.

Hulu and Disney+

“Dune” fans can watch parts 1 and 2 on Hulu if they purchase the Max bundle, but it won’t be available on Disney+. We checked both platforms (we have the bundle), and Hulu was the only one of the two that carried it. The Hulu bundle with Disney+ and Max starts at $16.99/mo. “Dune: Prophecy” will be available only on HBO and Max.

“Dune: Prophecy” Season 1 schedule

Even though “Dune: Prophecy” — originally titled “Dune: The Sisterhood” — was ordered in 2019, it’s just making its premiere this year. The first episode is scheduled for November 15, 2024. If it follows the trajectory of other HBO Original series, meaning each subsequent episode should be released weekly.

The Internet Movie Database (IMDb) has six episodes listed so far, which means there will likely be six episodes in the first season. This is a safe guess, considering it’s so close to the premiere date. If this is true and the show follows standard HBO release timelines, the schedule will carry fans through the end of December.

Probable episode air dates are as follows:

Title Date
Episode 1.1 - “The Hidden Hand” November 15, 2024
Episode 1.2 - “Two Wolves” November 22, 2024
Episode 1.3 - “Sisterhood Above All” November 29, 2024
Episode 1.4 - Not Yet Titled December 6, 2024
