Dune: Prophecy Season 2 Filming Update Hints at Release Date Window
actor Josh Heuston recently shared an update regarding the filming of the show's Season 2, thus teasing its release date window. The prequel series of the Dune movies by Denis Villeneuve premiered its debut season on HBO in November 2024. Despite its huge hype among the franchise's fans, the HBO series met with mixed reception from critics and viewers. The Heartbreak High actor, who portrays the role of Constantine Corrino in Dune: Prophecy, recently revealed the filming status of Season 2. While speaking to Collider, Josh Heuston conveyed that he was part of the second installment. He added, 'Yes. Definitely in Season 2. We go back, I believe, in August, and then we're filming through the rest of the year.' Heuston further shared more details regarding what fans can expect from his character in the upcoming season. He stated, 'I love playing Constantine. He's such a loose, fun character. And the way Season 1 ends, you can tell that he's probably going to go on a bit of a ride after that. So, yeah, I'm excited to jump back into those shoes.' Although Heuston avoided spoiling the plot details, he said, 'Production has lots of secrecy around it, basically like the show. But I know that it will have all of the factions going against each other. I know that much at least.' According to Screen Rant, in January 2025, Emily Watson, who portrays the character of Valya Harkonnen in Dune: Prophecy, also shared a filming update. She told the outlet, 'I think we are going to start in the fall, and I don't know anything [about Valya's story]. I know nothing, so I'm just as excited as you are.' Season 1 of the series came out in November 2024, almost a year after it wrapped filming in December 2023. With Dune: Prophecy Season 2 starting filming in August 2025, the release date window of the next installment is speculated to fall in late 2026. However, if the sophomore season doesn't follow the same aforementioned pattern as its predecessor, the release date can also be pushed to early 2027. Nevertheless, there is no official word from the makers yet about the release date window for Dune: Prophecy Season 2.

Aussie star Josh Heuston opens up on Jai Courtney-led horror, Dangerous Animals
Don't miss out on the headlines from Movies. Followed categories will be added to My News. IN CANNES After starring in Netflix hit Heartbreak High and landing roles in both the Marvel and Dune franchises, there's no denying Josh Heuston's star is firmly on the rise. The Sydney-born actor, 28, is now appearing in Dangerous Animals, a horror film directed by Sean Byrne and set on the Gold Coast. It follows free-spirited surfer, Zephyr (Hassie Harrison) who is abducted by a serial killer (Jai Courtney) and must figure out how to escape before he feeds her to sharks for his own entertainment. Heuston's Moses also finds himself embroiled in the dangerous nightmare after setting off to try and find save Zephyr, whom he's just met and is falling for. Harrison as Zephyr alongside Heuston's Moses in Dangerous Animals. 'It was my first time stepping into horror and thriller and I honestly had the best time ever,' Heuston told at Cannes Film Festival, where Dangerous Animals is having its global premiere. 'I just came off the back of [filming] Dune [Prophecy], and went straight into this. Going into a horror, the stakes are 110 percent at all times and it's just fun … You're almost like a big kid just running around and being chased by a bear of a man [Courtney].' Courtney plays a sadistic, shark-obsessed serial killer. He may be a sadistic killer on screen, but on set, Terminator Genisys and Divergent star Courtney was at the centre of the action every day, supporting the rest of the cast and crew. 'I learned a lot and he was there for me every step of the way', Heuston said, including while he was undertaking gruelling physical stunts, like being suspended 'in a harness'. 'And he's one of those actors where, even when he's not on camera, he'll still be giving you the performance … And it was so positive, because of Jai setting that example.' Not to give away any spoilers – but the harness, a particularly grisly element of the movie, proved to be one of the most challenging scenes to film. 'It was the most physical – it was two or three days in that thing,' Heuston recalled. 'We did a test round, and then just went straight in … I was the guinea pig in the harness for the first time before the two others went in. He added, laughing: 'So I got all the cuts and bruises.' One of the new generation of rising Aussie stars, Heuston also opened up about finding out he'd landed a role in Dune: Prophecy, the TV spin-off of the hugely popular films. 'There's a video of me getting the FaceTime and I've just gotten out of bed and I'm all messed up, going, 'What?!' he told 'I did one audition and then got it and flew out the same week, so it was kind of instantaneous.' Heuston appears as Constantine in Dune: Prophecy. At the series' world premiere in NYC last year. Picture:Season one of the show aired last year, and its follow-up is expected sometime in 2026. Before he gets back on set though, Heuston is next set to film Prime Video's upcoming YA drama Off Campus in Vancouver. 'I like to mix up genres a lot at the moment – I just did sci-fi, and then horror, and now a dramedy, and then I'll go back to Dune … I'm just trying to do a bit of everything,' he said. 'It's a gut instinct thing, about what feels right, or what kind of story I feel like telling.' Heuston quickly added: 'That being said, I don't get everything that I gravitate towards!" The actor also made a brief, but memorable, appearance in Thor: Love and Thunder back in 2022, as 'Pretty Boy' Zeus. As 'Pretty Boy' Zeus in Thor: Love and Thunder. It saw him working alongside some of his heroes, including Chris Hemsworth and Russell Crowe, and he admitted that he'd found the experience 'insane'. 'You watch them and you just learn so much – you get to see how they work, and what they do … And then you can take bits and pieces. Being on set with people like that, who are just so experienced and talented, you learn a lot quicker.' Plenty of actors who've turned up in major franchises with famously passionate fanbases choose to avoid social media feedback, but Heuston admitted he does the opposite, despite it feeling 'a bit sadistic'. 'I'm a bit of an internet troll, so I'm on there – I'm doom-scrolling and I'm reading a lot,' he said. 'I don't comment. [People] are like, 'I don't like you', but I shut up. But you see it … it doesn't really bother me too much at this stage. You can't please everyone and I'm just doing what feels right – if it doesn't feel right, I don't do it. 'I can't really get upset if I'm living life like that.' Dangerous Animals will be released in Australian cinemas on June 12.

A Sneak Peek At The Bridgerton Scene We're Waiting For
There may still be a long wait until our next trip to the Ton, but Netflix is making sure to throw fans of Bridgerton a few juicy morsels to tide them over until then. Each season of the hit period drama centres around a different member of the Bridgerton family, and it was announced last year that the next batch of episodes will centre around Luke Thompson 's character, Benedict. Fans of the original Bridgerton novel series will know that Benedict's love story begins with a visit to a masquerade ball – with Netflix offering viewers a first-look glimpse at this already-iconic scene in a new teaser clip. On Wednesday night, the streaming giant released a sneak peek at the moment Benedict first claps eyes on his new love interest, Sophie Baek, played by Yerin Ha, whose past work includes Dune: Prophecy and Halo. Meanwhile, it's also been announced that Bridgerton will be back for two more seasons, with a fifth and sixth run having now been commissioned by Netflix. One of these will centre around Francesca Bridgerton's love story with Michaela Stirling, which was teased at the end of season three. This storyline has already generated a lot of conversation, as the character appears in the books as Michael Stirling, but has been reimagined for the TV series as a woman. Bridgerton author Julia Quinn has already given this change her seal of approval, telling fans: 'Anyone who has seen an interview with me from the past four years knows that I am deeply committed to the Bridgerton world becoming more diverse and inclusive as the stories move from book to screen.' 'I'm confident [that] when Francesca has her Bridgerton season, it will be the most emotional and heart-wrenching story of the show, just like When He Was Wicked has always been the true tear-jerker of the Bridgerton book series,' Julia added, urging Bridgerton fans to 'grant me and the Shondaland team some faith as we move forward'.

They're just giving up and calling it HBO Max again
Warner Bros. Discovery is changing the name of its streaming service back to HBO Max. During its Upfront event on Wednesday, the company announced that it will rebrand Max this summer, a change HBO head Casey Bloys said 'better represents' its offering. HBO Max launched in 2020, but Warner Bros. Discovery relaunched the service three years later, filling it with content from its other properties, like Discovery, TLC, and HGTV. As part of the relaunch, it renamed the service to just 'Max' to signal that it's suitable for kids and families. That strategy likely didn't pay off, as the service has become more and more HBO-like over the past year. It rebranded The Penguin and Dune: Prophecy as HBO Originals, instead of Max Originals, and tested a bunch of always-on HBO channels. In March, Warner Bros. Discovery debuted a new logo that closely aligns with HBO's branding. The company said in a press release that 'returning the HBO brand into HBO Max will further drive the service forward and amplify the uniqueness that subscribers can expect' from the service. 'The powerful growth we have seen in our global streaming service is built around the quality of our programming,' Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav said in a statement. 'Today, we are bringing back HBO, the brand that represents the highest quality in media, to further accelerate that growth in the years ahead.'
