Sandstorms, Spices, and Sibling Rivalries
While we await the fate of a third ‘Dune’ film, let’s shift focus to the small screen. Enter ‘Dune: Prophecy,’ a prequel series that promises to expand the universe even further.
Sisterhood, Not From This Neighborhood
‘Dune: Prophecy’ transports us far back in time, well before Denis Villeneuve’s ‘Dune’ and ‘Dune: Part Two’. The series delves into the rise of the Bene Gesserit. For the uninitiated, they are a powerful sisterhood advising the emperor and shaping the universe’s future.
New Faces, Familiar Foes
This series veers away from familiar characters. Instead, it explores the machinations of the Bene Gesserit and the political power plays of House Harkonnen. Remember their relentless quest to destroy House Atreides in ‘Dune’? Yes, those guys are back in the spotlight.
The Cosmic Torment Looms Overhead
The official synopsis promises a thrilling ride. Two Harkonnen sisters battle forces aiming to decimate humankind’s future. The series focuses on their struggle and the establishment of the Bene Gesserit. ‘Dune: Prophecy’ draws inspiration from ‘Sisterhood of Dune,’ a novel by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson.
November Premiere on MAX
The show premieres on Max in November. The exact date remains as elusive as a worm in the sands of Arrakis. Unless you have a Bene Gesserit time oracle, keep the entire month free.
