## Key points

- Dune: Prophecy re-enters HBO Max's top 10 shows list
- Season 2 renewed, expected to premiere early next year
- Interest tied to Dune: Part Three's 18 December cinema release

## Summary

Dune: Prophecy, HBO's Dune spin-off, has climbed back into the streamer's top 10 more than a year after its first season finished, ahead of an expected second season next year. The renewed interest comes as HBO enjoys a strong 2026 overall, with releases including The Pitt's second season and House of the Dragon's third season, and as anticipation builds for Denis Villeneuve's Dune: Part Three film later this year.

Dune: Prophecy first aired at the end of 2024 and is set thousands of years before the events of Villeneuve's film trilogy. HBO has confirmed a second season, though an official premiere date has not yet been announced, with early 2027 the expected window. Fans' renewed attention is being linked to excitement over Dune: Part Three, which is scheduled for cinema release on 18 December 2026.
