At long last, Denis Villeneuve’s Dune: Part Two, which received a perfect five-star review from CinemaBlend, is finally in theaters. Suppose you want to get caught up with the story so far for Timothée Chalamet’s Paul Atreides as he continues his hero’s journey before watching the new sci-fi epic (or want to restart it after watching the latest chapter). If that’s the case, you’re probably trying to figure out how to watch Dune: Part One streaming.

Well, we have some good news for you, as we have a breakdown of everywhere you can watch one of the best movies of 2021 streaming. Stick around as we return to the world of Dune: Part One where it all began for one of the most epic sci-fi stories in recent memory.

Dune: Part One On Max

Dune: Part One was one of the 2021 Warner Bros. theatrical releases that found its way to HBO Max, now known as Max, upon its release a little more than two years ago, and it’s remained there ever since. As has been the case since its debut, all you need to do to watch Dune: Part One on the streaming service is use your Max subscription and you’ll be back with young Paul Atreides as he fights for survival on Arrakis in stunning 4K UHD like it’s October 2021 all over again.

Dune: Part One On Hulu

The list of new movies added to Hulu in March 2024 was headlined by none other than Dune: Part One, which moved over to the platform the same day as its sequel’s theatrical debut. There’s no telling how long the movie will be available for anyone with a Hulu subscription, so if you want to go back and revisit the Dune ending and prepare yourself for the second chapter, you might want to get to it sooner rather than later.

Is Dune: Part One On Netflix?

While it is true that Dune: Part One was one of the best movies on Netflix for a good stretch, Denis Villeneuve’s blockbuster is no longer available on the streaming platform as of the end of February 2024. There are still plenty of great sci-fi films worth checking out with a Netflix subscription, but you’ll have to use Max, Hulu, or rent the movie on Amazon for the time being. However, with titles being shuffled about all the time, it wouldn’t be surprising if it returned like a giant sandworm at some point in the future.

How To Watch David Lynch’s Dune Streaming

Denis Villeneuve’s adaptation isn’t the first adaptation of Frank Herbert’s iconic novel. In fact, there are multiple movies, miniseries, and documentaries about the influential piece of sci-fi literature that have been released over the years. One of the most notable is David Lynch’s 1984 version of Dune starring Kyle MacLachlan, Sting, and Sean Young, which is also streaming on Max.

Well, this should be enough to set you on your Dune: Part One streaming journey. And while we still don’t know when Dune 3 will happen, there are still plenty of highly-anticipated 2024 movies due out in the coming weeks and months to keep us occupied.

Philip grew up in Louisiana (not New Orleans) before moving to St. Louis after graduating from Louisiana State University-Shreveport. When he's not writing about movies or television, Philip can be found being chased by his three kids, telling his dogs to stop barking at the mailman, or chatting about professional wrestling to his wife. Writing gigs with school newspapers, multiple daily newspapers, and other varied job experiences led him to this point where he actually gets to write about movies, shows, wrestling, and documentaries (which is a huge win in his eyes). If the stars properly align, he will talk about For Love Of The Game being the best baseball movie of all time.
