HBO released a second official teaser trailer for "Dune: Prophecy," a six-episode prequel series set 10,000 years before the events of Frank Herbert's Dune novel. The series, set for release in November, explores the origins of the Bene Gesserit sisterhood and their role in shaping the prophecy about Paul Atreides.
It follows sisters Valya (Emily Watson) and Tula (Olivia Williams) as they establish the sisterhood, master abilities like the Voice, and navigate political schemes, battling forces that threaten humanity's future.
The star-studded cast includes Mark Strong, Tabu as Sister Francesca, Travis Fimmel, Jihae from Succession, Jodhi May, Sarah-Sofie Boussnina, and Josh Heuston.
Based on Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson's novel "Sisterhood of Dune", with Brian Herbert as an executive producer, it is set to premiere in November 2024 on Max. In the UK, "Dune: Prophecy" will air exclusively on Sky Atlantic as part of a discounted TV and streaming deal, which includes a subscription to Netflix for free for a limited time and offers savings of £96.
The series is produced in collaboration with Max and Legendary TV, with Alison Schapker as showrunner and executive producer, co-developed by Diane Ademu-John, other executive producers including Anna Foerster, Jordan Goldberg, and Mark Tobey.
