Dune: Prophecy is an upcoming American science fiction television series developed by Diane Ademu-John and Alison Schapker for HBO.[1] A prequel to the film Dune (2021), which was based on the 1965 novel of the same name by Frank Herbert, the series focuses on the origins of the Bene Gesserit, an exclusive and powerful sisterhood who undergo intense physical training and mental conditioning to obtain superhuman abilities; the action in the series taking place some 10,000 years before the events of the film. The series, which is based on the 2012 novel Sisterhood of Dune by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson, is produced by Legendary Television, with Schapker serving as showrunner, writer, and executive producer.

During Legendary Entertainment's 2016 acquisition of the television and film rights to the Dune book series, they began development of a two-part film adaptation with Denis Villeneuve serving as director by 2017. Legendary Television ordered the series in 2019 as a spin-off project from Villeneuve's films. Various creative figures joined by 2019, and following creative overhauls, Schapker became the show-runner, with Anna Foerster serving as director for multiple episodes by June 2023. Meanwhile, casting took place from November 2022 to June 2023. Principal photography began in November 2022 in Budapest and Jordan, and wrapped in December 2023.

Dune: Prophecy is scheduled to premiere on November 17, 2024.

Development
In November 2016, Legendary Entertainment had acquired the film and television rights for the 1965 novel Dune by Frank Herbert from his estate.[16][17] Legendary eventually contacted Denis Villeneuve to direct a two-part film adaptation of the novel by the next month, and was confirmed as director by February 2017.[18][19] Legendary Television announced a full series order of Dune: The Sisterhood in June 2019, produced for WarnerMedia's then-streaming service HBO Max.[20][21][22] The series would focus on the Bene Gesserit order and serve as a prequel to Villeneuve's 2021 film Dune,[23] based on material from Dune and the 2012 prequel novel Sisterhood of Dune by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson.[14] Villeneuve was set to direct and produce the series' pilot with Jon Spaihts writing the screenplay. Both would serve as executive producers alongside Byron Merritt, Kim Herbert, Kevin J. Anderson, and Herbert's son, Brian.[24][25] Villeneuve said, "The Bene Gesserit have always been fascinating to me. Focusing a series around that powerful order of women seemed not only relevant and inspiring but a dynamic setting for the television series."[26]

Shortly after its announcement, the project received criticism for its lack of female creatives except for Herbert's granddaughter, Kim Herbert.[27][28] Dana Calvo was hired in July 2019 to serve as showrunner alongside Spaihts.[29][30] In November 2019, Spaihts left the series to focus on Dune: Part Two (2024).[31][32] The Hollywood Reporter reported that Legendary Television was "not happy" with Spaihts's early work as showrunner and opted to remove him.[31] Diane Ademu-John had been hired as the new showrunner by July 2021.[33][34] As production of Dune: Part Two progressed, Villeneuve was no longer able to direct and replaced by Johan Renck as director for the first two episodes in April 2022.[35] Shortly after production began, Diane Ademu-John had exited the project as co-showrunner but remained the executive producer; this left Alison Schapker as the sole showrunner.[36] In February 2023, Renck also exited the project, resulting in the project being on hiatus.[5] He was replaced by Anna Foerster that June, who would direct multiple episodes, including the pilot.[37] In November 2023, the series was retitled Dune: Prophecy and set to release on Warner Bros. Discovery’s streaming service, Max.[38][39]

Casting
In October 2022, Emily Watson, Shirley Henderson, Indira Varma, Sarah-Sofie Boussnina, Shalom Brune-Franklin, Faoileann Cunningham, Aoife Hinds, and Chloe Lea were cast to star in the series.[3][7][8] Travis Fimmel joined the cast the following month.[2][40] On December 1, 2022, Mark Strong, Jade Anouka, and Chris Mason joined the cast in starring roles.[1] Josh Heuston and Edward Davis would join in recurring roles later that month.[9] During Renck's exit in February 2023, Henderson had also left.[37] In June, Olivia Williams was cast to replace Henderson, with Jodhi May cast to replace Varma, who exited the series due to scheduling conflicts.[5] In May 2024, it was announced that Tabu had joined the cast of the series as Sister Francesca,[10] Jihae was cast as Reverend Mother Kasha, the Emperor's Truthsayer,[12] and Jessica Barden was cast as the younger version of Valya.[4] The younger versions of Tula, Francesca and Kasha are portrayed by Emma Canning, Charithra Chandran and Yerin Ha, respectively.[6]

Filming
The series was originally scheduled to start filming on November 2, 2020, in Budapest and Jordan.[41] It began production on November 22, 2022, under the working title Dune: The Sisterhood, with Renck confirming the start on his Instagram account.[42][43] In July 2023, Deadline Hollywood reported that, following a winter hiatus, production was set to resume in Budapest amidst the WGA and SAG strikes due to the series' talent working under the UK-based union Equity.[44] Filming had concluded by December 2023, with Pierre Gill having served as lead cinematographer. Gill did not use the StageCraft virtual production technology, which he had previously utilized in the television series Percy Jackson and the Olympians, as the production primarily relied on practical sets and production values.[45]

Music
Jónsi was originally hired to compose the show's score.[46] However, by October 2023, Volker Bertelmann was set to compose the score for the series.[47]

Marketing
Max released a teaser trailer for the series on May 15, 2024.[48] A second teaser was released on July 18, 2024.[49] On October 17, 2024, the official trailer was unveiled during a panel at New York Comic Con.[50]

Release
Originally to premiere on the streaming service Max, Dune: Prophecy was rebranded as an HBO Original in July 2024 and is scheduled to be released on Max and HBO on November 17, 2024.[38][51][15]

Reception
The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported a 73% approval rating with an average rating of 6.4/10, based on 26 critic reviews.[52]

“Dune: Prophecy,” the long-gestating prequel series at Max, has released its first teaser trailer.

The official logline states, “From the expansive universe of ‘Dune,’ created by acclaimed author Frank Herbert, and 10,000 years before the ascension of Paul Atreides, ‘Dune: Prophecy’ follows two Harkonnen sisters as they combat forces that threaten the future of humankind, and establish the fabled sect that will become known as the Bene Gesserit.”

Dune: Prophecy, Max, Upfronts
Dune: Prophecy showrunner Alison Schapker has explained why the upcoming prequel TV show had its title changed before its forthcoming release. The upcoming Dune: Prophecy is set 10,000 years before Paul Atreideis' rise to power on Arrakis, following Harkonnen sisters Valya (Emily Watson) and Tula (Olivia Williams) as they become the founders of the Bene Gesserit. The show is based on Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson's pequel novel Sisterhood of Dune, and was origianlly titled Dune: The Sisterhood until the name was changed in November 2023.

Speaking with Collider, Schapker explained how Dune: Prophecy became the final name of the series because, while the Bene Gesserit are going to be important, the series has a much wider scope it's exploring as well. The showrunner explained how Valya and Tula's storyline will also impact other elements of the known universe, like "the Great Houses and the Imperium," as well as the prophecy that leads to Paul becoming the Lisan al-Gaib. Check out what Schapker had to say below:

Look, the Sisterhood is very much our point of origin, and I think that there was a time when that title was very grounding and orienting to the show. We are still explaining it as, “This is the story of the origin of the Bene Gesserit,” but I do feel like it is also set in a fully-realized world where it involves the Great Houses and the Imperium and the emperor. Eventually, over time, there are the other schools — there are the Mentats, there's the Spacing Guild. There's so much to the world that I don't think we wanted to artificially narrow it in the title, ultimately. And in some ways, Dune: Prophecy is both very representative of the Sisterhood because they're gonna obviously put in play a prophecy that's gonna bring about Paul Atreides, and it's very much who they are, but I think also it allows anyone in the Imperium to relate to it — what we believe in, what we don't, what stories we're gonna tell, who we're gonna elevate with those stories. I think Dune: Prophecy is thematically also very true to the show.

What Schapker's Statement Says About Dune: Prophecy Being The Show's Final Title
It's A More Fitting Name Given The Scope Of The Show

The cast of Dune: Prophecy will have a major role to play in the development of the whole franchise, since the Bene Gesserit control what happens across the known universe from the shadows. This includes planting seeds of the Lisan al-Gaib on Arrakis, which led to Paul using his powers as the Kwisatz Haderach to later become Emperor of mankind. Because of this development thousands of years later, it makes sense for the show's name to reflect both its own events, and the events it's destined to set up.

Dune: Prophecy Stars Emily Watson and Olivia Williams, who play Valya and Tula Harkonnen, discuss their powerful family and forming a sibling dynamic.

While calling the series Dune: Sisterhood would have been a fitting nod to the novel, the wider scale of its title indicates a larger focus that goes beyond the Harkonnens. This may even set the stage for the upcoming Dune: Part Three, emphasizing the importance of what the Bene Gesserit do and how it sets up the movies. For now, though, there is still plenty of mystery as to how the group's formation will directly impact the galaxy at the very beginning of their formation, something the series will no doubt be exploring in episodes to come.

Our Take On Why Dune: Prophecy Is The Prequel Series' Title
It's The Perfect Way To Emphasize The Larger Story At Work
Emily Watson as Valya Harkonnen in Dune: Prophecy
Although Dune: Sisterhood would better align the show with the novel it's based on, Dune: Prophecy helps highlight the importance of the show for the entire franchise. Since the Bene Gesserit play a constantly important role in the franchise, it's equally important for the show to emphasize this point through its title. With plenty of details yet to be explored, it seems the storyline that unfolds will also underscore why the title wanted to emphasize the larger story at work.

Dune: Prophecy will consist of six episodes.

It's hard for a spin-off television show to match the same quality and prestige as the movie it is spinning off from. But, after the spectacle of The Penguin, which matched the tone of The Batman so well, I was looking forward to exploring the world of Dune more with Dune: Prophecy. Set 10,147 years before the birth of Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet) and a mere 116 years after the end of the machine wars, Prophecy follows two sisters who come together to form the legendary Bene Gesserit sisterhood. Starring Emily Watson and Olivia Williams, the series offers a dose of the mythology we're familiar with when it comes to Dune while also introducing new concepts.

Rather than focusing primarily on the desert of Arrakis, Prophecy splits its time between Wallach IX, the homeworld of the sisterhood, and Salusa Secundus, the current homeworld of House Corrino, where the emperor rules from. The series trades in stillsuits and Fedaykin for Bene Gesserit veils and courtly intrigue. Although it exists in the same world as Dune, Prophecy falls much closer in line with shows like Game of Thrones than the Denis Villeneuve features, and that's a very good thing.

What Is 'Dune: Prophecy' About, and How Does It Differ From 'Dune'?

Although it has not yet been mentioned in the films, Dune: Prophecy brings in one element that has been missing from the lore of the Frank Herbert novels: The Butlerian Jihad. Though the show does not outwardly name it, much of the premise of the show is based around it and refers to it. Prophecy kicks off the show by talking about the thinking machines and how humanity fought a war against them that ultimately led to their demise. While the story of Dune technically takes place in the far future of our world, the reason why technology is so dated is because of this war against what is essentially artificial intelligence. While this doesn't play a large role 10,000 years later with Paul Atreides, it does for the sisterhood and the empire in Prophecy.

The reason we begin with the war against the thinking machines is because during the war, both House Atreides and House Harkonnen fought in the war, but in the end, the Harkonnens were branded as cowards by the Atreides and ultimately disgraced. But how much of that is fact and fiction? The season primarily follows Valya Harkonnen (Watson) through the different eras of her life. We first meet her when she is young (played by Jessica Barden) and newly arrived at the sisterhood. The Bene Gesserit here are known as Truthsayers, essentially human lie-detectors, and after Valya arrives, she captures the favor of the very first Mother Superior. Trusting Valya with a sacred prophecy and the plan to use a breeding program to make the perfect leaders, the Mother Superior dies and leaves Valya as her chosen successor, despite her own daughter Dorotea (Camilla Beeput) being eager to step up to the role as leader.

Valya is portrayed as a fiercely ambitious individual, willing to do anything to get what she wants and evangelized by the Mother Superior's plan. She goes to great measures to see that the plan is followed in order to avoid an oncoming reckoning, a holy judgment brought on by a tyrant. The series jumps back and forth between the young acolytes of the sisterhood proceeding in their training while also bringing us to the capital to give us insight into the political atmosphere that is constantly changing.

'Dune: Prophecy' Is Incredibly Cinematic

One thing stands out to me immediately after watching the first four episodes of Prophecy this is not your average TV show. TV spin-offs like the ones executed by the MCU always feel much more small-scale compared to the expansive Avengers movies. That's not to say they don't have their own charm, but it's clear they are of different calibers and exist in different classes. Prophecy doesn't shy away from violence and drama, delivering twist after twist, and death after death, ultimately not all that different from Dune. Sure, there's no Timothée Chalamet or Zendaya gracing our screens, but the talent of the cast mixed with the absolutely stunning visuals and production design make the universe feel fathomless.

While Dune primarily keeps us in Arrakis with its endless waves of sand and sun, Prophecy shows us the glittering cities on Salusa Secundus, the cold and bleak harshness of Wallach IX — it is complete with sweeping vistas that give the series a sense of scope. This does not feel like a small project at all; the universe feels like it is always expanding. Tom Meyer, the series production designer, and his team, clearly did not waste any time perfecting the details of locations like the sisterhood library or the palace and its throne room. Additionally, Bojana Nikitovic's costume design in the series is superb. The various veils worn by both the Truthsayers and other high-born characters, along with the subtle details in clothing, enrich the entire story. It feels like this show has been plucked directly from the movie instead of feeling like a lesser imitation.

Emily Watson and Olivia Williams Are Absolute Powerhouses in 'Dune: Prophecy'

I can't imagine a better pair of actors to play Bene Gesserit sisters than Emily Watson and Olivia Williams. While Watson's Valya is ambitious, advantageous, and cutthroat, Williams' Tula is soft, nurturing, and something of a natural follower. Valya leads as the current Mother Superior, but Tula is her trusted confidant and right-hand woman. But because they are sisters, there's always a bit of tension beneath the surface. Tula is very willing to follow the directives of her sister, but when she is left alone, we see what kind of extremes she's willing to go to to keep what is precious to her.

Williams and Watson are most dynamic when working off each other, bandying lines back and forth in a curt and restrained manner that feels reminiscent of Rebecca Ferguson's Jessica. They also stand at the top of the heap as two of the most captivating performers. Whether Watson is parrying with the mysterious Desmond Hart (Travis Fimmel) or advising her sisters on vast plans, there's no denying Valya's determination. Williams shines most when she works with newcomer Chloe Lea, who plays the young acolyte, Lila. It allows Williams to show a softer and more maternal side to her character, which feels hidden when Valya is around.

Special recognition also has to be given to Jessica Barden, who plays the young Valya, and Emma Canning, who plays the young Tula. Both actors have outstanding flashback scenes, with Barden giving a biting and savage performance during Valya's most desperate and scrappy years. Before she attempted to elevate her family name, she was ready to scratch, claw, and kill her way to the top for the glory of her family. Canning has her own episode where we see how Tula's gentle nature turns and watches as she loses a life that she could have had: one that would likely have been much happier than the one she ended up living.

Strong Leading Characters Stand Out, but This Cast Is Filling Out Too Much

Beyond the sisters, the rest of the cast is also quite impressive. Jodhi May plays a passionate and mistrusting empress who does not seem to like the Truthsayers and their influence over her husband. Mark Strong's Emperor Javicco Corrino is haunted by the greater actions of his forebears and easily manipulated. The emperor frequently acts as a pawn in the series, puppeted by everyone around him and completely oblivious to that fact. Meanwhile, Sarah-Sofie Boussnina plays the young Princess Ynez. There's clearly some youthful immaturity in Ynez, but she understands the weight of her responsibility and steps up as a worthy heir to her father's throne. As one of the characters involved in so much of the plot and backstory, Boussnina holds her own against the veteran cast and transforms a boring one-dimensional book character into a fully-fledged figure we want to root for. Fimmell's Desmond Hart initially appears to be a poor Jason Momoa dupe, looking not too different from Momoa's Duncan Idaho. But the zealotry and eeriness of Hart, and his scenes with Valya, are incredibly charged. His character is, by far, the most unique and confounding of the series, which only adds to the mystery behind the season.

However, as great as these characters are, they are not all so fully formed. And as Dune: Prophecy fleshes out its extensive cast, this show is already beginning to feel too crowded. We meet even more Harkonnens, more acolytes, more Truthsayers, more nobles. They all have names and become fragments of the story as a whole, but they seem to lack the same level of depth as the main cast. While that level of development might not be needed for, say, the nobles, the series also follows a group of young sisterhood acolytes. I can only hope these characters develop more complexity before the end of the season.

'Dune: Prophecy' Offers a Refreshing Look at the Universe

What ultimately makes Prophecy stand out is how similar and different it feels from Dune. It helps that the story is set so far in the past that, aside from house names, these are all new characters and new stories. They are still trying to control Arrakis and its spice, but there's far more intrigue than just desert warfare. The series bravely pushes into the more obscure lore of the books, expanding where it sees fit to flesh out the world. Discussing the thinking machines and the early days of the Bene Gesserit plan do not just exist to give us context for the film; they have their own purpose.

The series also binds elements of horror and science fiction with courtly politics. Those who like a good mystery will enjoy piecing together the various scenes and clues sprinkled throughout the show to answer some burning questions. It introduces new factions, such as a group of rebels working against the empire and new houses belonging to the Landsraad.

On top of that, due to the nature of the television format, it can spin off several subplots. There's a star-crossed lovers story between the princess and the palace swordmaster (Chris Mason), a shocking double murder mystery, a coming-of-age story with the acolytes, and obviously a family drama — especially when it comes to the Harkonnens. It's hard to feel bad for any of the Harkonnens by the time of Dune and Dune: Part Two, but Prophecy offers a more nuanced look at this much-maligned house, one that manages to paint them in an intriguing light beyond just sadistic and despotic rulers. With Prophecy, HBO is now two for two when it comes to TV spin-offs.

Dune: Prophecy premieres on November 17 on HBO and Max in the U.S.
