The second novel is set 12 years after the events of the first book, with Atreides still serving as Emperor of the Known Universe having unleashed the Fremen’s deadly jihad on the galaxy, leaving billions dead.
The novel also sees a bigger role for Paul’s sister, Alia, who was briefly played by Anya Taylor-Joy in the previous film.
The third instalment in the Dune series will reportedly start filming this summer ahead of a reported release date of December 2026.
It also curiously sees the return of the previously dead Duncan Idaho, who was played by Jason Momoa in the first film.
Another fan wrote: “It's still crazy to me that we will have seen three Dune movies in the span of 5 years.
