‘Dune: Prophecy’ Trailer Explores Origins of Shadowy Bene Gesserit

Max has revealed the first trailer for 'Dune: Prophecy,' a prequel series that will stream this fall.

Taking place 10,000 years before the saga of Paul Atreides that featured in Denis Villeneuve’s Dune movies, 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,” HBO Max said in a synopsis. As the events of the series are 100 centuries in the past, Dune: Prophecy boasts an entirely new cast of characters, with Emily Watson, Mark Strong, Olivia Williams, and Travis Fimmel among its stars. Max has not yet announced when specifically the six-episode first season will stream, only that it will arrive in the fall.
