Prefect 2.0

You need to add the wait_for argument within your @task decorator:

from prefect import task, flow

@task
def task_1():
    pass

@task
def task_2():
    pass

@task
def task_3():
    pass

@flow(name="flow_with_dependencies")
def main_flow():
    t1 = task_1()
    t2 = task_2(wait_for=[t1])
    t3 = task_3(wait_for=[t2])

Prefect 1.0

To do the same in Prefect 1.0, you can use the upstream_tasks argument:

from prefect import task, Flow

@task
def task_1():
    pass

@task
def task_2():
    pass

@task
def task_3():
    pass

with Flow("flow_with_dependencies") as flow:
    t1 = task_1()
    t2 = task_2(upstream_tasks=[t1])
    t3 = task_3(upstream_tasks=[t2])
