Ashley Walters is set to join the cast of HBO’s Dune: Prophecy for its second season. The Top Boy star steps into the expansive world of Frank Herbert’s universe as the series continues production overseas, with filming currently taking place in Hungary, Jordan, and Spain.
Dune: Prophecy is set millennia before Paul Atreides and focuses on the origins of the Bene Gesserit. While details about Walters’ character remain under wraps, his addition marks another significant casting move as the series builds on the momentum from its first season, which earned multiple Emmy nominations.
Season 2 is led by showrunner and executive producer Alison Schapker, with HBO and Legendary Television continuing their partnership on the project. Further character and story details are expected to be revealed closer to the premiere.
