The Penguin and Dune: Prophecy are now HBO Originals. According to Deadline, the shows are joining the upcoming Harry Potter series (eww), the DC series Lanterns, and Welcome to Derry to become HBO originals. The Penguin and Dune: Prophecy will still stream on Max, of course, but are also going to be available on HBO.
This strategy captures the prestige of the HBO name and the numbers from a premium cable network while also getting streaming service clicks as well. Good for HBO and Warner Bros. Discovery, we suppose. We are just ready to see HBO Originals The Penguin, Dune: Prophecy, Lanterns, and Welcome to Derry give us all the good nerd feels as they come out over the next couple of years.

First up is The Penguin, which releases September 8. Dune: Prophecy is coming sometime in Fall 2024, too. We will have to wait until 2025 to see the IT prequel Welcome to Derry on our screens. There’s currently no word on Lanterns yet, which is in development.
