Dune: Prophecy

The first look at new sci-fi drama series Dune: Prophecy was released this morning, with a full length trailer dropping on socials ahead of the premiere in Spring.

From the universe of Dune, created by acclaimed author Frank Herbert, and 10,000 years before the ascension of Paul Atreides depicted in feature films Dune and Dune Part Two, 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. 

The plot is reportedly inspired by the novel ‘Sisterhood of Dune,’ written by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson, and will follow a separate storyline to the blockbuster movies by Denis Villeneuve.

Watch the trailer, which features a number of familiar faces, a lush and intricate set and costume design, and a tangled web of Bene Gesserit lies, below:
