Dune: Prophecy hits HBO in November

[Karlston]

The series is a prequel to Denis Villeneuve’s films, and it just got a fresh trailer.

 

HBO’s Dune prequel series now has a premiere date — or month, at least. The upcoming show, called Dune: Prophecy, will hit both HBO and Max in November. The HBO Original also got a fresh teaser, which makes it look like the six-episode-long show will be filled with plenty of political maneuvering.

 

That makes a lot of sense given that Prophecy follows the origins of the clandestine Bene Gesserit sect, which went on to shape much of the galaxy in the Dune universe. The show is set 10,000 years before Dune and its sequel. HBO says the series is “inspired” by the novel Sisterhood of Dune from 2012, written by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson.

 

Alison Schapker — best known for working on shows like Lost, Fringe, and Alias — is serving as showrunner, while the cast includes Emily Watson and Olivia Williams as the two Harkonnen sisters who found the Bene Gesserit. Here’s a look at Watson in her full Dune getup:

@Karlston ...Hopefully they will have invented light bulbs in this series.

                        I just can't understand why they spent millions making the

                        two Dune movies yet had so many dark, shadowy interior

                        scenes where it was difficult to see clearly what was happening.
