Dune: Prophecy has been renewed for a second season at HBO.
The news comes just ahead of the show’s season one finale (episode 1×06 “The High-Handed Enemy”) on Sunday, Dec. 22.
Sarah Aubrey, Head of Max Original Programming said in a statement “Dune: Prophecy has captivated audiences around the globe thanks to the visionary leadership of showrunner and executive producer Alison Schapker, who will continue to guide this grand tale of truth and power. We are incredibly grateful to our partners at Legendary and to our extraordinary cast and crew for their service to the Imperium. We’re excited to collaborate with this team again to see what they have in store.”
The series is set 10,000 years before the ascension of Paul Atreides, and based loosely on the novel Sisterhood of Dune by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson. It follows two Harkonnen sisters, Tula and Valya as they combat forces that threaten the future of humankind, and establish the fabled sect that will become known as the Bene Gesserit.
