HBO's Dune: Prophecy Prequel Series Set for November

The highly anticipated prequel series 'Dune: Prophecy' explores the origins of the Bene Gesserit and is set 10,000 years before Paul Atreides' rise. The series, inspired by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson's novel 'Sisterhood of Dune', follows the Harkonnen sisters, Valya and Tula, as they build the influential all-female order. Tabu, playing Sister Francesca, has garnered significant attention for her brief but powerful appearance in the teaser. The six-episode series, featuring an ensemble cast including Emily Watson, Olivia Williams, and Travis Fimmel, will premiere on HBO and Max in November 2024. Directed by Anna Foerster, John Cameron, and Richard J. Lewis, the series promises political intrigue and the consolidation of power by the Bene Gesserit.
