by Dave Elliott

Dune: Prophecy is set to return for Season 2 as HBO announces the sci-fi drama has been renewed.

From the expansive universe of Dune, created by acclaimed author Frank Herbert, and 10,000 years before the ascension of Paul Atreides, ‘Dune: Prophecy’ follows two Harkonnen sisters as they combat forces that threaten the future of humankind, and establish the fabled sect that will become known as the Bene Gesserit. The series is inspired by the novel Sisterhood Of Dune, written by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson.

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,” said Sarah Aubrey, Head of Max Original Programming. “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 stars Emily Watson, Olivia Williams, Travis Fimmel, Jodhi May, Mark Strong, Sarah-Sofie Boussnina, Josh Heuston, Chloe Lea, Jade Anouka, Faoileann Cunningham, Edward Davis, Aoife Hinds, Chris Mason, Shalom Brune-Franklin, Camilla Beeput, Jihae, Tabu, Charithra Chandran, Jessica Barden, Emma Canning, Yerin Ha, and Barbara Marten.

“This new season will allow us to continue building out the groundbreaking, epic Dune franchise that has captivated audiences worldwide across its instalments,” adds Jason Clodfelter, Legendary’s President of Television. “We look forward to continuing our incredible partnership with HBO and are thrilled for Alison Schapker, her team, and the cast and crew who have worked so passionately to bring this world-class source material from Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson to life.”

Alison Schapker serves as showrunner and executive producer. Diane Ademu-John co-developed the series and serves as executive producer. Anna Foerster executive-produced and directed multiple episodes including the first. Jordan Goldberg, Mark Tobey, John Cameron, Matthew King, Scott Z. Burns, and Jon Spaihts executive produce with New York Times bestselling author Brian Herbert, along with Byron Merritt and Kim Herbert as executive producers for the Frank Herbert estate. New York Times bestselling author Kevin J. Anderson serves as co-producer. The series is co-produced by HBO and Legendary Television with Legendary also producing the film franchise that has released two instalments to critical acclaim, the first of which garnered six Academy Awards.

Season 1 of ‘Dune: Prophecy’ aired on Sky Atlantic in the UK. It’s currently not clear if the second season will air on Sky Atlantic directly, or on the MAX streaming service which launches in early 2026 in the UK. If it does, the ad-supported tier of MAX will be available at no extra cost to Sky and NOW customers anyway, so they will still be able to watch.

Dune: Prophecy‘ Season 1 can be found on Sky in the UK. If you want to keep track of this or any of the shows, you can add them via our Never Miss system, and you’ll be notified when the next season gets a UK premiere date.
