The season finale of Dune: Prophecy just got a lot easier to watch. In a surprising move, HBO announced today that the prequel series of the Dune franchise has been renewed for Season 2. Since the Season 1 finale is mere days away, it’s too early to tell who is involved in terms of casting and what stories will be covered, but for now, the excellent news is that our return to the Imperium is guaranteed.
When you look at the numbers, the Dune: Prophecy renewal was not too hard to… prophecize. According to HBO, the premiere episode of the series raked in about 15 million viewers across Max’s coverered territories, which is a hefty debut by any standards. The show was able to prove that sci-fi and adventure fans will follow the stories based on Frank Herbert novels wherever they go, be it on the silver screen or in the comfort of their own homes. Even though official numbers are yet to be unveiled, the renewal suggests that the subsequent episodes were able to keep a steady number of viewers.
This is a developing story. Stay tuned to Collider as the updates come in.
