Denis Villeneuve will also return to direct the film, and Hans Zimmer will compose the film's score. The first film was well received by critics and audiences and became a commercial hit, grossing $401 million worldwide on a production budget of $165 million. The movie was also nominated for 10 awards at the 94th Academy Awards, winning six (the most awards in the ceremony), namely: Best Sound, Best Original Score, Best Film Editing, Best Production Design, Best Visual Effects, and Best Cinematography.

Back in June 2019, Legendary Pictures announced its plans for a spinoff prequel series titled Dune: The Sisterhood, for HBO Max. Set 10,000 years before the ascension of Paul Atreides, the series will follow two Harkonnen sisters as they combat forces that threaten the future of humankind, and establish the fabled sect known as the Bene Gesserit.

Denis Villeneuve and Jon Spaihts will serve as the executive producers of the show, while Alison Schapker will serve as the showrunner. The cast of the series includes Emily Watson, Shirley Henderson, Indira Varma, Mark Strong, and Travis Fimmel.

Villeneuve has also expressed interest in making a third film based on Dune Messiah, but this is dependent on the success of the second film. Dune: Part Two is scheduled for release on November 3, 2023.

Speaking of, Legendary Entertainment has recently signed a new distribution deal with Sony Pictures Entertainment. Future Dune films might be distributed by Sony instead of Warner Bros.
