Warner Bros. has unveiled the first trailer for “Dune: Prophecy”, a prequel to Denis Villeneuve’s sci-fi saga, “Dune”. The series is set to stream on Max and offers a glimpse into the rise of the Bene Gesserit, a mysterious sect that shapes the fate of the galaxy for generations to come.
“Dune: Prophecy” is set 10,000 years before the events of the primary “Dune” novels and Villeneuve’s film adaptations. The series follows two sisters of House Harkonnen, Valya and Tula, played by Emily Watson and Shirley Henderson respectively. The sisters find themselves fighting the future by establishing the Bene Gesserit.
The series was originally titled “Dune: Sisterhood” and was first announced in 2019. It went through a series of cast and director changes before becoming “Prophecy”. The six-episode miniseries is set to begin streaming on Max this fall.
