Both HBO's Dune: Prophecy and the upcoming Dune: Part Two explore the fall of an emperor from House Corrino. Despite being set thousands of years apart, the two titles draw parallels in their narratives.

The Dune franchise is kicking off in full force in 2024, with Dune : Prophecy airing on HBO and Dune : Part 2 released in cinemas, both telling a similar story.

Paul wins, defeating his rival and ascending to become the emperor of the Known Universe. In agreement with Princess Irulan Corrino, Paul spares Shaddam and places him in exile. Emperor Javicco Corrino wasn't so lucky in Dune: Prophecy season 1's ending. The plot of Dune: Prophecy sees the emperor overthrown, though in this case, it's by his own han
