Hulu/YouTube
Bene Gesserit, move over! The Kardashians are entering their Dune era.
On Friday, March 8, Hulu revealed the release date for season 5 of The Kardashians. Fans quickly noticed the desert-themed poster, which seems to be inspired by a popular sci-fi movie starring Kylie Jenner's boyfriend, Timothée Chalamet.
One fan expressed the impact Timothée has on the family, while another questioned if the 28-year-old Chalamet will appear this season. A social media user humorously commented, "What in the Duneashian is going on."
The poster depicts the Kardashian-Jenner family dressed in sandy shades of brown, tan, and nude, reminiscent of Arrakis. Khloé Kardashian looked effortlessly stylish in a wrinkled pearly dress that accentuated her figure. Kourtney Kardashian opted for a knit off-the-shoulder dress, while Kim Kardashian stunned in a tan ensemble with a form-fitting bodice and flowing skirt, completed with a thigh-high slit. Her look was elevated with lace-up heels and beachy waves.
Kim, 42, stood beside her mom Kris Jenner at an event. Kris wore a shiny nude dress with a high neckline, long sleeves, and a flowy skirt. Kendall Jenner and Kylie, the youngest daughters, also wore tan dresses. Kendall, 28, looked amazing in a tight dress with one long sleeve and a train. Kylie, 26, wore a fitted gown with a hood.
Check out The Kardashians' latest post on their official Instagram account (@kardashianshulu). In a teaser clip, Kim, Khloé, and Kourtney are shown sitting around a fire, looking up at the sky - giving off major Dune vibes. The scene then shifts to all three women posing in the desert, gazing into the camera with the words "new horizons await" flashing on the screen.
Who do you think is the most stylish female star of all time?
Dune: Part Two recently came out, continuing the story of Paul Atreides (played by Chalamet) and his partner Chani (portrayed by Zendaya) as they plot their revenge against the Harkonnens for their family's destruction. The film also features Florence Pugh, Josh Brolin, Rebecca Ferguson, Javier Bardem, and Austin Butler.
Kylie revealed her love for science fiction last year, calling Dune: Part One one of her favorite films. In an interview with WSJ. Magazine in October 2023, she expressed, "I do love that movie."
Fans can catch season 5 of The Kardashians on Thursday, May 23.
Editor's P/S:
The Kardashians' latest promotional poster for their upcoming season has sparked a buzz among fans, drawing comparisons to the epic sci-fi film "Dune." The desert-themed imagery and sandy hues evoke the otherworldly landscapes of Arrakis, with the family members resembling futuristic characters from Frank Herbert's classic novel. The influence of Kylie Jenner's boyfriend, Timothée Chalamet, who plays the lead role in "Dune," is evident in this visually striking poster.
This creative direction hints at a potential shift in tone for the show, which has primarily focused on the personal and professional lives of the family. By incorporating elements of science fiction, the Kardashians may be exploring new narrative territory that resonates with fans of the popular film franchise. It remains to be seen how these influences will manifest in the upcoming season, but the desert-inspired poster has certainly generated excitement and anticipation among viewers, suggesting that The Kardashians is embracing a more imaginative and captivating approach to reality television.
