Dune: Part II

Following the events of Part I, Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet) and Lady Jessica (Rebecca Ferguson) have escaped into the desert after the Harkonnen attack and met up with the Fremen.

While Paul learns to become a Fedaykin fighter and woos Chani (Zendaya), Lady Jessica uses all her skills as a Bene Gesserit to ensure the prophecy comes to pass.

Her supervisor Agent Carter (Blair Underwood) assigns Lee a case which has slightly uncanny elements. There are a series of murder/suicides where they think the perpetrators were persuaded to commit the acts by an unknown person. Who then somehow left cryptic notes at the scene signed "Longlegs" with no other evidence of being involved or present at all.
