Things that must happen in Dune: Prophecy Season 2

Dune Prophecy Season 2 may be released sometime in 2026, HBO has not announced the official date but indeed the excitement for the new season is escalating given the possibilities of angles the narrative could explore. Here are some plot points that the season is meant to explore.

Natalya's rise to power

In season 1, Emperor Javicco takes his life after realizing that he has been a victim of Bene Gesserit's manipulation for years. While Empress Natalya killed Sister Francesca for their affair. The burning question here is what will be Natalya's next move.

Season 2 of Dune: Prophecy can attempt to explore the same. Emperor Javicco wanted Ynez to rule, so Natalya could use the fake Ynez- Theodosia, to secure power. However, it could also lead to rebellion as many houses oppose a woman leader.

Natalya might also have to take Constantine's help who is Fransceca's son making his loyalty uncertain. This will create a major powerplay of who will become the next ruler around which the season might revolve along with other subplots.

Desmond Hart will continue to pose a threat to the Sisterhood

Desmond Hart's journey and his conflict with the sisterhood will continue to be a central narrative. His true parentage and the fear-spreading plague make him powerful along with his connection with the thinking machines.

There might be multiple souls in Lila's body

In season 1, the general understanding was that Lila's body was controlled by the Mother Superior, Raquella. But it is Dorotea who possesses Lila. Dorotea was once a powerful figure within the Bene Gesserit Sisterhood but was forced to commit suicide by Valya Harkonnen.

She is using Lila's body to stage rebel against Valya. Therefore, Lila could also possess multiple souls: hers, Raquella's, and Dorotea's. This might help create intrigue and ambiguity about what Lila will do next.

Bene Gesserit could have been founded on the Desert Planet

Season 2 could reveal that the Bene Gesserit was founded on the desert planet. Season 1 ended with Keiran Atreides, Princess Ynez Corrino, and Valya Harkonnen landing on Arrakis. This sets up the story perfectly to delve into when and how the Bene Gesserit came into existence.

Additionally, Valya reciting the early version of 'Litany of Fear' indicates that the sisterhood transformation could be happening sooner rather than later.

Sisterhood might be using the thinking machines secretly

Season 1 of Dune: Prophecy already revealed that the sisterhood used ancient thinking machines. Given this history, Season 2 may explore the hidden remnants of AI technology and the risks involved in using them. If the sisterhood is secretly using the thinking machines still this could result in an internal conflict as their ideology is built over human supremacy over machines.
