Dune: Prophecy still on HBO slate

Dune: Prophecy is still on HBO’s 2026 schedule, but Deadline’s current premiere-date roundup does not list a specific return date for Season 2 yet. (deadline.com) That keeps the series on the network’s active slate more than a year after HBO renewed it on December 19, 2024, ahead of the Season 1 finale on December 22, 2024. Warner Bros. Discovery said at the time that the show would return for a second season, without giving a day-and-date premiere. (press.wbd.com) HBO said on November 11, 2025 that production had begun on Season 2, and that the new run will span eight episodes. The company said filming was taking place in Hungary, Jordan, and Spain. (press.wbd.com) The update matters because Dune: Prophecy has already moved from renewal to active production, but viewers still do not have a firm launch date in mid-April 2026. Deadline’s list is updated daily and includes many shows marked to be announced, which puts Dune: Prophecy in the “still coming, date pending” category rather than off the board. (deadline.com) Season 1 debuted on HBO on November 17, 2024, with six episodes released on Sundays. Warner Bros. Discovery described the series as set 10,000 years before Paul Atreides and centered on two Harkonnen sisters who help found the sect later known as the Bene Gesserit. (press.wbd.com) Warner Bros. Discovery’s press materials also tie the series closely to Legendary Television and the larger Dune screen franchise, which gives HBO a continuing science-fiction title between the Denis Villeneuve films. The company says the show is inspired by Sisterhood of Dune, the novel by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson. (press.wbd.com) For now, the clearest takeaway is narrow but concrete: HBO has not dropped Dune: Prophecy from its 2026 lineup, and the next hard update fans are waiting for is a date. (deadline.com)
