Dune: Prophecy Trailer Released
The journey of Warner Bros’ Dune series is moving to a whole new medium. HBO’s Dune: Prophecy trailer gives us a deeper look at what happened before. The latest trailer for Prophecy, the new live-action spinoff series set to premiere this fall, has been released. Prophecy will be a female-fronted prequel story that follows the early days of Bene Gesserit, the secret coven that influenced key events in the series.
New Dune: Prophecy Trailer Released
Dune: Prophecy, previously known as Dune: The Sisterhood and has undergone a number of creative changes since it was first announced as in production in 2019. In 2023, news broke that the series had lost star Shirley Henderson as well as Johan Renck, the director of the first two episodes. These exits followed the departure of showrunner Diane Ademu-John, who left the series just before it began production in late November, reportedly leading to major rewrites. Finally, both Dune: Prophecy and The Batman spinoff series The Penguin will air on HBO instead of being available only on Max.
Dune Prophecy
Dune: The Prophecy was previously described as being told through the eyes of a mysterious cult of women known as the Bene Gesserit. Possessing extraordinary abilities through their mastery of body and mind, the Bene Gesserit skillfully navigate the feudal politics and intrigues of the Empire, pursuing their own plans that will eventually lead them to the enigmatic planet Arrakis, known to its inhabitants as Dune. The cast will also include Emily Watson as Valya Harkonnen; Sarah-Sofie Boussnina as 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 as Emperor Javicco Corrino; Jade Anouka as Sister Theodosia; Chris Mason as Keiran Atreides.
“Oh, it’s ongoing and I’m not allowed to talk about it too much,” writer Jon Spaihts previously told The Playlist in an interview. “But that effort is alive and well. I left this project not only to work on Dune, not only to work on another Part Two, but to explore other cinematic possibilities in the Dune universe, which we’re still talking about, and again, I’m not allowed to say too much about that. But it’s a very rich world to play in and I think it’s full of opportunities for storytelling in all directions. They’re way ahead of the curve, but I honestly don’t know the details of the timing.”
