Dune: Prophecy Season 2 has been officially announced by HBO and is presently in production, with a release window set for 2026 on HBO and Max. Nevertheless, the precise date of the debut has not yet been disclosed.
Production began in late 2025 (about November), with filming taking place across Hungary, Jordan, and Spain. The show was also featured in HBO’s 2026 programming teaser. In December 2025, a short first-look video of Valya Harkonnen arriving on Arrakis was released, indicating a significant change in the plot.
As of right now, 2026 is the only timeline that has been established. Once production is finished or a complete trailer is out, further informations are to be expected.
Dune: Prophecy Season 2 Expected Cast
In order to maintain continuity as the show spreads throughout Arrakis and other power centers, the majority of the main cast from Season 1 is coming back. The confirmed returning cast are Emily Watson as Valya Harkonnen, Olivia Williams as Tula Harkonnen, Travis Fimmel, Natalya Arat Corrino, Jodhi May as the Empress, Mark Strong, Sarah-Sofie Boussnina, Josh Heuston, Lea Chloe, Jade Anouka, Cunningham, Faoileann, Edward Davis, Aoife Hinds, Chris Mason, Brune-Franklin Shalom, Jessica Barden (reappearing in flashbacks as a young Valya), Emma Canning, Yerin Ha, Barbara Marten and Tessa Bonham Jones. Some of the new cast members includes Indira Varma, Tom Hollander and Ashley Walters.
Although the new characters’ specifics are being withheld, their presence raises the possibility of increased political and ideological disputes amongst various factions.
Dune: Prophecy Season 2 Potential Plot
Season 2 continues up after the Season 1 conclusion, which ended with Valya, Keiran, and Ynez going for Arrakis, laying the stage for a much bigger and more perilous portion of the story.
The short first-look video suggests early ideological or cultural groupings associated with Arrakis by showing Valya meeting with figures wearing elaborate gold robes. In order to allow for more in-depth world-building and denser storytelling, HBO has revealed that Season 2 will feature eight episodes instead of just six in Season 1.
Trailers and more narrative information are expected to appear closer to the 2026 release date as production proceeds.
