Exclusive: Dulé Hill Talks Storytelling, Faith, and His Role in ‘The Prophecy’ Season 2

Los Angeles had its ear to the ground Monday night as Vibes & Views hosted an exclusive first listen of The Prophecy Season 2 trailer at The Gathering Spot. The event brought out media insiders and tastemakers eager to hear what’s next for Audible’s hit supernatural thriller—and the suspenseful sneak peek did not disappoint. Gasps, wide eyes, and audible “wows” rippled through the audience as the new season teased a darker, deeper, and even more dangerous story.

But the night’s biggest moment came after the trailer, when Dulé Hill—beloved for roles in The West Wing and Psych—joined the stage for an intimate Q&A. Hill, a new addition to the cast, gave the room an exclusive look into his character, Moses, and why this series hit so close to home for him.

“What If the Bible Was About What’s Still to Come?”

Hill wasted no time explaining why The Prophecy felt different from anything he’s done before.

“I love the idea of The Prophecy. What if the stories of the Bible weren’t just about what happened in the past, but about what’s still to come?”

“I play Moses—a man who’s been given a second chance after a very dark period in his life,” Hill told PopViewers Founder & CEO, Chris Witherspoon. “Because of the prophecy, he’s found a new path, and now he’s giving everything he has to make sure he fulfills his role.”

That sense of second chances and redemption is central to Hill’s character—and judging from the trailer reaction, fans are ready to follow Moses on his journey.

Storytelling in Every Form

Hill also spoke about why he believes The Prophecy has the power to connect with people on a different level.

“We’re all storytellers—whether you’re a dancer, singer, painter, writer, actor, or filmmaker. This is just another way to tell a story. Hopefully it reaches people’s ears in a way that moves them, inspires them, and has a positive impact.”

It’s a reminder that audio storytelling, with its immersive soundscapes and cinematic quality, can be just as powerful—if not more—than what you see on screen.

Kerry Washington, Giancarlo Esposito, and a Stacked Cast

Of course, Hill isn’t the only star joining the drama. The Prophecy Season 2 brings back Kerry Washington in her role as Dr. Virginia Edwards. Washington also returns as an executive producer, helping shape a season that promises even higher stakes and shocking twists.

This time around, Virginia is dealing with a terrifying revelation: her son Joshua may hold the key to humanity’s survival. If that’s not enough pressure, she also has to face down billionaire cult leader Luther Bell, played by none other than Giancarlo Esposito (Breaking Bad).

Alongside Hill, the cast features Alano Miller, Rhenzy Feliz, Ebony Obsidian, Eme Ikwuakor, Yvette Nicole Brown, Annie Gonzalez, Guillermo Diaz, Crystal Fox, Roz Stanley, and Mara Shuster-Lefkowitz. Created by Randy McKinnon, directed by Malakai, and written by Diandra Pendleton-Thompson, the new season is once again produced by Audible, Simpson Street, and QCODE.

Faith, Fear, and the Future

Season 2 dives deeper into the world established in the first installment, which saw Dr. Edwards fighting supernatural forces and assassination attempts to protect her miracle child. Now, with visions intensifying and only one month to decode the prophecy, Virginia sets off on a dangerous journey through the Deep South. Trust is scarce, danger is constant, and faith might be the only weapon left.

Executive producer Kerry Washington summed it up best:

“Season 2 of The Prophecy expands the world in ways that will thrill fans of the first season as well as new listeners. We’ve deepened the intrigue and heightened the stakes to take audiences on a mind-blowing adventure.”

Why Dulé Hill Joining Matters

The addition of Dulé Hill isn’t just about bringing another recognizable name into the mix—it’s about adding depth, gravitas, and a character who embodies second chances. His Moses is a man wrestling with his past while stepping into a role that could change the future. For longtime fans of Hill, it’s an exciting new chapter in a career filled with standout performances.

And for listeners, it’s one more reason to set a reminder: The Prophecy Season 2 officially drops September 25, exclusively on Audible.

Bottom line? If the gasps and applause at Vibes & Views are any clue, this season is going to be a must-listen. Between Kerry Washington’s commanding return, Giancarlo Esposito’s menacing new role, and Dulé Hill stepping into the prophecy with fresh fire, this audio thriller is ready to raise the stakes—and your heartbeat.
