No one is aware of the place the following hit will come from on the 2024 TV schedule! Even with one thing as puffed up as Dune: Prophecy, some might have been mistaken that the typical critiques from critics and followers had been an indication that the present hadn’t taken with audiences. That apparently isn’t the case, as HBO’s sci-fi epic has been breaking streaming milestones in its 4 weeks of airing.
Dune: Prophecy’s Present Rotten Tomatoes Rating
At the moment, Rotten Tomatoes has its Tomatometer at 70% with critics and 65% with followers approving of showrunner Alison Schapker and govt producer Jordan Goldberg’s house odyssey. Which isn’t too shocking contemplating that Dune: Prophecy’s vital reactions had been fairly optimistic.
Although if you happen to’ve been maintaining with what we find out about Dune’s prequel collection, you’ll be able to type of see why this week is an efficient time to see a ground-swelling of help. The newest episode, “Twice Born”, put down some fairly severe roots for the longer term, and there are solely two extra chapters earlier than we hit the top of what we’ve seen up to now.
So I can completely see why streaming milestones are beginning to tumble on the may of this well-played collection. However simply what precisely kind of streaming milestones is that this monumental shift within the literary universe beloved by many followers raking in?
The Milestones That Dune: Prophecy Has Achieved So Far
Apparently, in accordance with Samba TV’s streaming charts (through The Wrap), Dune: Prophecy has been probably the most watched streaming program for 2 weeks working. What’s extra, this determine has contributed to an 11-week streak that’s seen Max within the high slot of those standings.
Earlier than you begin to marvel simply how that metric was achieved, let’s not neglect that for eight weeks earlier than the premiere of the Dune prequel collection, latest Golden Globe nominee The Penguin was dominating the airwaves. So a part of these weeks on the highest might have been Max’s viewers catching up with Gotham Metropolis’s epic saga of crime and psychosis.
Nonetheless, with out spoiling something for the informal viewer, there are some fairly massive happenings brewing inside not solely the Harkonnen household, but additionally the Sisterhood itself. Should you’re a Recreation of Thrones fan and occur to have seen “Twice Born’s” big finale, you’d know precisely what I’m speaking about.
Two episodes might not look like a number of time for a collection like Dune: Prophecy to introduce large hooks for a possible second season, however that’s one other assumption that’s simply ready to be debunked. We’ll simply should maintain watching to search out out, as these closing two installments will debut for HBO and Max subscription holders over the following two Sundays at 9 PM. Within the meantime, it’s not a foul concept to catch up/revisit the earlier 4 chapters, as you by no means know what’s hidden in plain sight.
