The Underworld franchise, starring Kate Beckinsale, tells the story of the eternal war between vampires and lycans through the viewpoint of the elite vampire assassin Selene. If you have ever been curious about watching the Underworld movies, we’ve created this (mostly) spoiler-free guide to help you decide whether to watch the story unfold chronologically or in release order, as they are both great options! Underworld: Rise of the Lycans (2009) Underworld: Rise of the Lycans is actually the third film in the Underworld series, but it takes place earliest in the timeline and serves as a prequel to the first film. Instead of starring Kate Beckinsale, Rise of the Lycans takes place in 1402, and follows Michael Sheen’s Lucian, a lycan raised by the vampire elder Viktor (Bill Nighy), as he navigates the events that lead to the Vampire-Lycan war. Underworld (2003) The first film in the franchise to see release, Underworld and takes place in London around the year 2003. The film introduces audiences to the universe of Underworld and the secret history of vampires and lycans. Selene (Beckinsale) has dedicated her life to ridding the world of lycans, but that life is turned upside down when Michael (Scott Speedman), the human she begins falling for, is bitten by one. Underworld: Evolution (2006) This first sequel dives much deeper into the history of vampires and lycans and puts Selene and Michael at odds with their respective clans. Their attempt to fix the rift between their two species is hindered by the vampire elder Markus (Tony Curran). Underworld: Awakening (2012) Underworld: Awakening picks up in a time when the government and public have learned about the existence of vampires and lycans and takes place not too long after Underworld: Evolution. Humans want to study these vampires to harness their power, and that drive causes many around the world to begin hunting them. Selene is captured and imprisoned in cryogenic suspension for 12 years, which brings the story to roughly 2015. When she wakes, vampires and lycans are nearly extinct and she goes on a mission to escape and find Michael. Underworld: Blood Wars (2017) Underworld: Blood Wars, the most recent entry in the franchise, takes place a few years after Awakening, although the exact year isn’t really revealed. In this story, Selene is being hunted by both the lycan clan and the vampire faction that betrayed her, and she embarks on a mission to stop this eternal war between the two species once and for all.
