It focuses on two Harkonnen sisters who fight against forces that could jeopardize humanity’s future and lay the groundwork for the famous order known as the Bene Gesserit. This is the account of the Sisterhood’s origin during a particularly chaotic and crucial period in the history of the Dune universe.

Alison Schapker functions as both showrunner and executive producer on this production. Diane Ademu-John contributes to the series development and takes on an executive producer role as well. Anna Foerster assumes the executive producer position while directing several episodes, including the pilot. Jordan Goldberg, Mark Tobey, John Cameron, Matthew King, Scott Z. Burns, Jon Spaihts, New York Times bestselling author Brian Herbert, Byron Merritt, and Kim Herbert (representing the Frank Herbert estate) also serve as executive producers.
