Initially, we weren’t too convinced that the world needed a Dune prequel, set a staggering 10,000 years before Paul Atreides. Focusing on the enigmatic Bene Gesserit, it seemed like a tall order. However, after experiencing the electrifying first season of HBO’s Dune: Prophecy, we found ourselves yearning for more. The dramatic twists and intense storytelling left us craving season two. We can’t wait to witness the return of the captivating Sisterhood!
