They’ve landed on Arrakis.

The new “Kardashians” promotional teaser for Season 5 looks an awful lot like “Dune” — the franchise that Kylie Jenner’s boyfriend, Timothée Chalamet, happens to star in.

Dressed in beige tones, Kourtney, Kim and Khloé Kardashian, as well as Kendall, Kylie and Kris Jenner, gather around a campfire in the desert, voguing in the sand.

“New horizons await,” a text across the screen reads.

“NOT KYLIE doing promo for Dune II lmaooo,” one person wrote.

“‘Dune’ core. Kris the Reverend Mother and the Bene Gesserit are coming to Arrakis,” another referenced in a nod to the franchise’s storyline.

“Wake up babe, new Kardashians x Dune collab dropped,” a third joked.

Someone else asked if the family “got ‘Dune’ copyrights,” while another asked, “Dune Part 3 already?”

“What in the Star Wars….” another fan wrote, comparing the scene to a galaxy far, far away. “Anyways Kylie is the only one eating here and Kourtney is low-key eating them up.”

Based on the sci-fi novels by Frank Herbert, the first “Dune” film adaptation debuted in 1984 starring Kyle MacLachlan and Francesca Annis.

Chalamet, 28, and Jenner, 26, have seemingly been dating since April 2023. Neither of them have verbally confirmed their romance, but they did attend the Golden Globes together in January.

The billionaire Kylie Cosmetics founder also shot down the opportunity to talk about Chalamet in a New York Times profile published Friday.

When the interviewer asked if Jenner was aware of fans’ previous claims that the “Wonka” star is to credit for her new “clean girl” aesthetic, she quickly moved the conversation along.

“I don’t know how I feel about that,” Jenner replied. “I just don’t want to talk about personal things.”

Rumors are now swirling that the couple called it quits after Jenner shared a TikTok of her morning routine.

“Soft launch breakup coming???” one person asked on Reddit.

Another added, “Yes and talking about how she’s ‘thriving’ all on her own like she doesn’t need a man.”
