As a dedicated fan who has journeyed through the vast expanse of Frank Herbert’s Dune universe time and again, I can hardly contain my excitement for HBO’s upcoming series, Dune: Prophecy! With its grandiose scale and intricate narrative woven from the Sisterhood of Dune prequels, this series promises to be a thrilling exploration of the roots of the Bene Gesserit and the Kwisatz Haderach prophecy.
Approximately six months since the release of “Dune: Part Two” ruled the cinemas, fans are preparing to revisit Frank Herbert’s science-fiction universe in the HBO series titled “Dune: Prophecy“. This television show unfolds events thousands of years prior to those depicted in Villeneuve’s “Dune” films, yet a fresh trailer hints that it will be no less grandiose.
Titled “Dune: Prophecy” before being known as “Dune: The Sisterhood,” this upcoming TV series hails from Alison Schapker, who has previously worked on shows like “Altered Carbon” and “Westworld.” It is based on content from Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson’s prequel novel, “Sisterhood of Dune.” The story follows the lives of two Harkonnen sisters, Valya (Emily Watson) and Tula (Olivia Williams), who play instrumental roles in forming the enigmatic sect known as the Bene Gesserit. In the “Dune” films, Lady Jessica (Rebecca Ferguson), Paul Atreides’ mother, is a well-known member of the Bene Gesserit, a powerful and influential group with connections to many prominent houses by that time. The TV series aims to delve into the origins of the mysterious sisterhood as well as uncover the roots of the Kwisatz Haderach prophecy.
HBO Releases New Dune: Prophecy Trailer
A new trailer for Dune: Prophecy was released on YouTube following its premiere at New York Comic-Con. The footage sets up a brewing war between the great houses and sees Valya and Tula scheme to secure the throne and protect the Imperium. Mark Strong’s Emperor Javicco Corrino is the reigning ruler, who must maintain peace in an Imperium “surrounded by vipers”. Corrino mentions a pivotal location in the trailer, claiming that a key goal of his is to maintain control of Arrakis, which confirms the iconic planet from the Dune movies will be a part of the new series. A few of Arrakis’ giant sandworms can also be spotted in the trailer.
A significant character in the upcoming series “Dune: Prophecy” is Desmond Hart, portrayed by Travis Fimmel. This soldier will alert the Emperor about the manipulative schemes of the Gene Besserit, referring to it as a war that’s camouflaged among everyday occurrences. Desmond appears to be a major adversary for the Harkonnen sisters during the series, as he mobilizes forces with the goal of eradicating the sisterhood. Additionally, new characters played by Jodhi May, Sarah-Sofie Boussnina, Chris Mason, Josh Heuston, Tabu, and Shalom Brune-Franklin were teased in the latest footage. Lastly, the trailer has confirmed that “Dune: Prophecy” will debut on November 17, 2024, which is a week following the finale of “The Penguin.

One key impression from the trailer for Dune: Prophecy is that its production budget appears comparable to that of the films. Although it takes place 10,000 years prior to the movie events, the series aims to preserve the aesthetic and universe established by Villenueve. The visual effects in Dune: Prophecy are on par with those in Dune: Part One and Dune: Part Two, and it shares a similar tone, costumes, and style. As we wait for the next film in Villenueve’s series, Dune: Messiah, which is still years away, Dune: Prophecy should undoubtedly keep fans engaged during that time.
Dune: Prophecy will premiere on Max on November 17, 2024.
