Emily Watson says HBO Max’s “Dune: Prophecy” will introduce “lots of new elements” in its second season. She makes the comments while appearing at the Variety Lounge during the Sarajevo Film Festival.

Watson says returning to the “Dune” world for season two feels different from her earlier work, which she describes as including major independent and arthouse films. Both outlets report that the season has already been filmed, but that no release date has been announced. The articles focus on Watson’s perspective as she prepares for the next run of the series, rather than providing specific plot details or production timelines beyond the fact that filming is completed.
