As a longtime fan of the intricate and captivating world of Frank Herbert’s “Dune,” I have been eagerly anticipating the newest addition to this rich universe: HBO’s live-action series, “Dune: Prophecy.” With each new announcement and update, my excitement only grows.


Warner Bros.’ “Dune” universe is expanding into a fresh territory with HBO’s new series, “Dune: Prophecy.” Revealed on Thursday, this live-action spinoff’s full trailer premiered, set to debut on the network this autumn. “Prophecy,” which focuses on the early history of the Bene Gesserit, a clandestine sisterhood shaping significant “Dune” franchise occurrences, is led by women.

As a long-time fan of Frank Herbert’s “Dune” novels, I’ve been eagerly anticipating the upcoming adaptation, “Dune: Prophecy.” However, I must admit that the series has undergone quite a few changes since its initial announcement in 2019.

What Is Dune: Prophecy About?

The story in Dune: Prophecy is recounted from the perspective of the enigmatic women’s order, the Bene Gesserit. Endowed with remarkable mental and physical skills, these women deftly navigate the power struggles and deceit within The Imperium, working towards their secret objectives that will eventually guide them to the mystifying planet Arrakis, referred to as Dune. Notable actors include Emily Watson portraying Valya Harkonnen, Sarah-Sofie Boussnina playing Princess Ynez, Shalom Brune Franklin as Mikaela, Faoileann Cunningham as Sister Jen, Aoife Hinds as Sister Emeline, Chloe Lea as Lila, Travis Fimmel as Desmond Hart, Mark Strong portraying Emperor Javicco Corrino, and Jade Anouka acting as Sister Theodosia, while Chris Mason will be cast as Keiran Atreides.

“Jon Spaihts once mentioned in an interview with The Playlist that he was working on a project related to ‘Dune,’ but he wasn’t able to discuss it in detail. However, he assured that the project is ongoing and he has been tasked with exploring other potential stories set in the ‘Dune’ universe. He emphasized the abundance of storytelling possibilities in this world, though he couldn’t reveal specifics about the progress or release dates.”
