Underworld Movies in Order

Where should you start?

Watch the films in release order. Rise of the Lycans takes place earlier, but it works as background after the conflict has been introduced. The main sequence follows Selene while the prequel gives a different perspective on the war around her.

Our take on the collection

Moviebase editorial

The series combines stylized night-time imagery, supernatural politics and action. Its elaborate faction history can be engaging if you enjoy dark fantasy, though the exposition sometimes competes with the momentum. The look is intentionally consistent, so visual variety is less of a draw than the ongoing conflict.

Planning your watchlist

For a first watch, resist moving the prequel to the beginning. Leave time between films to keep the returning alliances straight, and expect mature violence throughout.
