‘Dune: Prophecy’ Cast Guide: Meet the New Atreides and Harkonnen Families in HBO’s Prequel Series
Meet the new Atreides and Harkonnen families in 'Dune: Prophecy,' the prequel TV series on Max.
Since the show is set so far in the past, there aren’t any traces of Timothee Chalamet as Paul Atreides, Austin Butler as Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen or Florence Pugh as Princess Irulan, but their long-ago ancestors take center stage here. Unlike the films, “Dune: Prophecy” takes place away from the sandy planet of Arrakis and its sandworms, but there are a few characters with origins that tie to the desert wasteland. Ynez is the Emperor and Empress’ only daughter, just like her eventual descendant, Florence Pugh’s Princess Irulan in “Dune: Part 2.” She’s set to become the newest member of the Bene Gesserit, but she gets pulled into a complicated situation with her combat instructor Keiran Atreides.
