Filmmaker Denis Villeneuve's Dune: Part Two, fronted by Timothee Chalamet and Zendaya, is set to start streaming on JioCinema Premium from August 1.

Based on author Frank Herbert's seminal 1965 novel, the film is a sequel to Dune: Part One.

"Arrakis braces for an epic battle with destiny! Dune: Part Two, streaming August 1 onwards, only on JioCinema Premium. Available in English, Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Bengali and Marathi," JioCinema said in an X post on Wednesday.

The sequel explores the mythic journey of Paul Atreides (Chalamet) as he unites with Chani, played by Zendaya, and the Fremen while on a warpath of revenge against the conspirators who destroyed his family.

Apart from the lead stars, the film will have actors Rebecca Ferguson, Josh Brolin, Dave Bautista, Stellan Skarsgård, Charlotte Rampling, and Javier Bardem returning, along with newcomers Christopher Walken, Austin Butler, Florence Pugh and Léa Seydoux.

Dune: Part Two, which released in theatres in March, will be available on the streamer in seven languages. It was a critical and commercial success, grossing over $712 million worldwide, surpassing its predecessor and making it the second-highest-grossing film of 2024 and the highest-grossing film in Villeneuve's career. A sequel based on Herbert's 1969 novel Dune Messiah is in development.
