A drug that could extend human life! A way to be immortal! Sounds oh so dreamy, this is exactly what the series Dune, starring Timothee Chalamet and Zendaya circles around. Dune has two seasons out already and Dune 3 is under speculation now.

Will there be a Dune 3?

As of now, the production of Dune 3 remains unconfirmed. While director Denis Villeneuve has expressed keen interest in completing a trilogy with an adaptation of Dune: Messiah, Warner Bros. has not officially announced the third installment. The fate of Dune 3 may depend on the performance and reception of Dune 2.

However, we must not the fact that the director has put his heart out in the open in an interview with the Empire magazine where he confessed his interest in wanting to make a part 3 of Dune. He said in the interview:

If I succeed in making a trilogy, that would be the dream. Dune Messiah was written in reaction to the fact that people perceived Paul Atreides as a hero, which is not what he wanted to do. My adaptation [of Dune] is closer to his idea that it’s a warning. After that, the books become more… esoteric. I will say, there are words on paper."

If Dune 2 were to be well received then the numbers would be advantageous and put the people in power in a comfortable position to start the production for the third installment.
