The last episode of the first season of Dune: Oracles drops tonight on HBO and Max. As you tune in to the finale, you might be pondering if this Dune prequel series will morph into a second season—and when the next installment in the Dune legacy will be unveiled.
Episode 6 promises a thrilling culmination to the inaugural season of this series, inspired by Frank Herbert’s Daughters of Dune.

However, an undercurrent of discontent within the Sisterhood might jeopardize Mother Superior’s endeavors, as hinted at in the trailer with the line, “The Sisterhood has strayed from its path.”
