From the expansive universe of Dune, created by acclaimed author Frank Herbert, and 10,000 years before the ascension of Paul Atreides, 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. Dune: Prophecy is inspired by the novel Sisterhood of Dune, written by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson.
We recently had it confirmed by the show’s producers that it is definitely set in the same universe as the movies and while this was ridiculed by many, in a world where there numerous Batman franchises, Transformers and more, I don’t blame them for wanting to confirm you’re watching the same story only from time long before the movies.
In this exclusive clip from Dune: Prophecy, Valya (Emily Watson) and Tula (Olivia Williams) discuss the acolytes, including Lila (Chloe Lea), Theodosia (Jade Anouka), Jen (Faoileann Cunningham), and Emeline (Aoife Hinds). Credit: Courtesy of HBO.
Co-produced with Legendary Television, the six-episode season debuts Sunday, November 17 at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT on HBO and will be available to stream on Max. New episodes will debut on subsequent Sundays.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars. He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer. He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot. Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
