How to watch

Rebel Moon follows Kora, played by Sofia Boutella, a mysterious former soldier living on a peaceful farming moon. When the tyrannical Motherworld threatens her village, she sets out across the galaxy to recruit a band of warriors to fight back. Netflix released the saga as two PG-13 films, then followed up with Zack Snyder's extended R-rated cuts, which are titled differently and add over an hour of footage to each chapter.

🕐 Release Order

In release order, the theatrical-style cuts arrived first, followed by the director's cuts several months later.

1. Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Fire (2023)
2. Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver (2024)
3. Rebel Moon – Chapter One: Chalice of Blood (2024)
4. Rebel Moon – Chapter Two: Curse of Forgiveness (2024)

The director's cuts are not new stories but alternate versions of the same two chapters. That means you really only need to watch two movies, choosing which edition suits you.

📖 Story Chronology

Story-wise, Part Two continues immediately after Part One. For the extended experience, simply swap in the matching director's cut for each chapter.

1. Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Fire / Chapter One: Chalice of Blood (2023)
2. Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver / Chapter Two: Curse of Forgiveness (2024)

Which Order Should You Choose?

If you want a quicker, family-friendlier ride, watch Part One and Part Two. If you're a Snyder fan or want the richest version of the world, go straight to Chalice of Blood and Curse of Forgiveness, which add character backstory, extra world-building, and much more intense action. Avoid mixing editions mid-way, since the extended cuts change pacing and some story beats.
