Almost a year after being renewed, Dune: Prophecy season 2 has started production with new cast members Indira Varma (Coldwater, The Night Manager), Ashley Walters (Top Boy, Adolescence) and Tom Hollander (The White Lotus, The Night Manager). The 8-episode series will be filming across places in Hungary, Jordan, and Spain with Alison Schapker returning as showrunner from the first season.
Set more than 10,000 years before the events of Denis Villeneuve’s Dune movies, Dune: Prophecy followed "two Harkonnen sisters as they combat forces that threaten the future of humankind, and establish the fabled order that will become known as the Bene Gesserit." It is based on the novel Sisterhood of Dune by Brian Herbert and Kevin J Anderson. Details regarding season 2's release date and the story it will follow are currently unknown. Indira Varma, Ashley Walters and Tom Hollander's characters have also not been revealed.

Indian actor Tabu played Sister Francesca, a formidable figure within the order in the first season. It is not known if she will return for the second season.
Apart from serving as the showrunner Alison Schapker will be the executive producer of season 2 along with Jordan Goldberg, Mark Tobey, Kevin Lau, Monica Owusu-Breen, Matthew King, Scott Z. Burns, and Jon Spaihts. Brian Herbert, Byron Merritt, and Kim Herbert for the Frank Herbert estate are also executive producers. Dune: Prophecy season 2 is co-produced by Kevin J Anderson.
