Good news for all you fantasy and adventure fans! HBO is whipping up a new show set in the Dune universe. The series, called Dune Prophecy, is based on the works of famous author Frank Herbert. This fresh spin-off takes us back in time, way before the era of Paul Atreides. Pretty cool, right?
Dive into a World 10,000 Years in the Past
Dune Prophecy will take us a staggering 10,000 years back in time, way before Paul Atreides became famous. The story is told from the perspective of the Bene Gesserit, a powerful and mysterious group of women. These women have control over their bodies and minds, making them experts in handling the intricate politics of The Imperium. They’re on a mission that will eventually lead them to Arrakis, better known as Dune.
Get hooked to the storyline which follows two Harkonnen sisters. Their mission is both weighty and perilous, paving a dangerous future for humanity, and founding the legendary Bene Gesserit themselves. Now, that sounds intriguing, doesn’t it?
An Outstanding Cast to Drive the Action Forward
Dune Prophecy is going to feature an array of talented actors. Emily Watson is set to play Valya Harkonnen, the leader of the sisterhood. Olivia Williams will be portraying Tula Harkonnen, Valya’s sister. Other top names to look forward to include Travis Fimmel, Jodhi May, Sarah-Sofie Boussnina, and Mark Strong. Talk about star-powered, right?
Beyond just Actors – The Minds Behind the Scenes
When it came to directing the series, initially, the name bouncing around was Denis Villeneuve. Unfortunately, he had a bit of a time crunch. When Legendary bought the rights to Herbert’s novels in 2016 and announced Villeneuve as director in 2017, he was already busy with another project. So when Dune Prophecy came up, he opted to stay with Dune: Part Two. This decision also resulted in some changes in the team behind the scenes.
