The epic sci-fi film&nbsp;premiered last week in theaters and on HBO Max.

If you watched <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/zendaya-timothee-chalamet-dune-red-carpet-premiere" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dune</a> last week and walked away desperate for a sequel, you're in luck. The film's star <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/film-tv/timothee-chalamet-dune-french-dispatch-release" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Timoth&eacute;e Chalamet</a>just announced in a new Instagram post that Dune: Part Two is in the works.
Dune follows the plot outlined in the first half of Frank Hebert's lengthy 1965 novel of the same name. Dune: Part Twowill tackle the second half of the book, picking up as Chalamet's character Paul partners with Chani (<a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/beauty/zendaya-best-red-carpet-beauty-makeup" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Zendaya</a>) and the other Fremen in a mission to save their planet Arrakis.

&ldquo;I just received news from Legendary that we are officially moving forward with&nbsp;Dune: Part Two,&rdquo; said director Denis Villeneuve. &ldquo;It was a dream of mine to adapt Frank Herbert&rsquo;s&nbsp;Dune,&nbsp;and I have the fans, the cast, and crew, Legendary and Warner Bros. to thank for supporting this dream. This is only the beginning.&rdquo;

 According to <a href="https://deadline.com/2021/10/dune-sequel-greenlit-by-legendary-warner-bros-theatrical-release-1234862383/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Deadline</a>, Warner Bros. and Legendary have greenlit the project for an October 2023 release. While we expect main cast members like Chalamet, Zendaya, Rebecca Ferguson, Josh Brolin, Stellan Skarsg&aring;rd, Dave Bautista, and Javier Bardem to reprise their roles for the sequel (though no casting decisions have been confirmed), Villeneuve will also return in his capacity to lead the project. However, unlike the first film, the sequel will be released exclusively in theaters and not on HBO Max.
