There's a disturbingly sinister presence peering from a dark nebulous realm in the season finale of HBO's " Dune: Prophecy ," which ended its short-but-satisfying debut season this past Sunday night with a multitude of revelations, unexpected deaths, family truths unveiled, and the arrival on one notorious desert planet named Arrakis.

Prophecy wrapped up last night with "The High-Handed Enemy," an eventful episode that left many of our characters in new and unexpected places. On Wallach IX, Dorotea — a Bene Gesserit sister killed decades ago — took over the body of her granddaughter Lila (Chloe Lea) and is now trying to steer the Sisterhood in a whole new direction.

Prophecy" just got an early holiday gift with word that HBO has ordered a second season after streaming numbers made it one of their biggest hits of the year, with 15 million views for its debut episode that launched Nov.

Prophecy brings all this together for a revelatory conclusion, answering some of our biggest questions from the season, while raising others that will be explored in Season 2. From revelations about the Omnius Plague to game-changing flashbacks,

Prophecy. Not that it’s an ending per se, of course. With Season 2 already confirmed, everything that happens in Episode 6, “The High-Handed Enemy”, is in service to the kind of big-picture multi-season storytelling that HBO was doubtlessly looking for in a Duniverse project.
