Warning: SPOILERS ahead for Dune: Prophecy season 1, episode 6!Dune: Prophecy showrunner Alison Schapker explained the final location of the Season 1 finale and teased what the new setting means for Season 2. Dune: Prophecy sees Valya (Emily Watson) rescue Ynez (Sarah-Sofie Boussnina) and Keiran (Chris Mason) from prison, managing to escape the planet despite pursuit from Desmond Hart (Travis Fimmel). At the end of the episode, the trio arrive on Arrakis, which had a huge impact on the story due to the sandworm dream the Brotherhood has been having throughout the show.
Talking to TV LineSchapker explained how the attraction of Arrakis was important to Dune: Prophecy season 1, but season 2 will further explore its importance to the overall narrative. This includes Valya trying to gather more information about Desmond's claim that he survived being eaten by a sandworm. It also involves investigating who actually implanted thinking machines in his eyes, giving him his powers. Check out what Schapker had to say below:
Arrakis [has been] exerting its influence from afar, whether on the economics of the spice trade or on the psychological aspects of these views [from] Desmond's past seeping into everyone's consciousness.
It is very significant that Valya is there. [Desmond] came up with a story and a myth – 'I'm from Arrakis, I was swallowed by a worm and I survived after my entire regiment was killed' – and all I would say is that Valya is going to find out a lot more, given that she's back where Desmond emerged as the opponent. AND [it will] It will be interesting to see what she discovers.
More to come…
