Dune Prophecy will return for season 2, announces show's team ahead of season 1 finale

Hindustan Times  

HBO has confirmed that its highly anticipated prequel series, Dune: Prophecy, will return for a second season. The announcement was made during a virtual press conference featuring showrunner and executive producer Alison Schapker, along with stars Emily Watson and Olivia Williams, as per Deadline. The show is a prequel to the Dune movies directed by Denis Villeneuve, following the early history of the Bene Gesserit, the influential order of women in the Dune saga. In the Dune films, Lady Jessica Atreides, portrayed by Rebecca Ferguson, is an important member of the Bene Gesserit, and much of the order's spiritual teachings are passed down to her son, Paul Atreides. "How the sisterhood survives is very much a part of season 2," Alison teased during the virtual press conference, hinting at further developments within the complex world of Dune: Prophecy, as per Deadline.
