Shai Hulud: HBO Renews “Dune: Prophecy” for Second Season

This just in-

HBO has ordered a second season of “Dune: Prophecy!” This is great news, not just because I personally love the Frank Herbert-created universe, but because “Prophecy” is the prime example of how to adapt high-level genre material.

“We’re so thrilled and grateful for their support, for our partners at Legendary, and most of all that we get to keep working with these incredible people in front of and behind the camera and get to keep telling this story,” showrunner Allison Schapker said about the renewal.

“Prophecy” 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, and Yerin Ha. 

“This new season will allow us to continue building out the groundbreaking, epic Dune franchise that has captivated audiences worldwide across its installments,” Jason Clodfelter, Legendary’s President of Television, said. “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.”

Season 1 is currently streaming via HBO’s MAX, with the finale set to hit this coming Sunday. You can actually pre-order the 4K physical media release via Amazon here.
