The HBO Original drama series Dune: Prophecy, co-produced with Legendary Television, has been renewed for a second season, ahead of the season one finale debuting on Sunday, December 22 at 9:00 p.m. Et/Pt. Across Max territories, the first episode has amassed approximately 15 million viewers.

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.

The series is inspired by the novel Sisterhood of Dune written by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson.

The cast includes Emily Watson, Olivia Williams, Travis Fimmel, Jodhi May, Mark Strong, Sarah-Sofie Boussnina, Josh Heuston, Chloe Lea, Jade Anouka, Faoileann Cunningham, Edward Davis, Aoife Hinds, Chris Mason, Shalom Brune-Franklin, Camilla Beeput, Jihae, Tabu, Charithra Chandran, Jessica Barden,...

“Dune: Prophecy” has secured a renewal for a second season ahead of the HBO drama’s Season 1 finale.

The prequel series, which is inspired by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson’s novel “Sisterhood of Dune” and co-produced with Legendary Television, takes place 10,000 years before the ascension of Paul Atreides. It 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” stars Emily Watson, Olivia Williams, Travis Fimmel, Jodhi May, Mark Strong, Sarah-Sofie Boussnina, Josh Heuston, Chloe Lea, Jade Anouka, Faoileann Cunningham, Edward Davis, Aoife Hinds, Chris Mason, Shalom Brune-Franklin, Camilla Beeput, Jihae, Tabu, Charithra Chandran, Jessica Barden, Emma Canning, Yerin Ha and Barbara Marten.

The show is executive produced by Alison Schapker, who serves as showrunner, Diane Ademu-John, who co-developed the series, and Anna Foerster, who directed multiple episodes including the premiere.

As it was written: “Dune: Prophecy” has been renewed for Season 2 at HBO.

The news was announced during a virtual press conference Thursday afternoon, a few days before the Season 1 finale airing Sunday, Dec. 22.

The “Dune” prequel series, set more than 10,000 years before the events of Denis Villeneuve’s “Dune” movies, follows the origins of the Bene Gesserit, the secretive order of powerful witches that influence Arrakis’ politics behind the scenes.

Inspired by the novel “Sisterhood of Dune” by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson, the series follows the leader of the Bene Gesserit Sisterhood, Valya Harkonnen (played by Emily Watson), and Tula Harkonnen (Olivia Williams), who team up to combat forces that threaten humankind.

Both are ancestors from long ago of the evil House Harkonnen, which betrays Paul Atreides and his father in the “Dune” movies. Mark Strong plays Emperor Javicco Corrino and Sarah-Sofie Boussnina is his daughter Princess Ynez.

HBO will continue following the Sisterhood of Dune: Prophecy.

The series will return for a second season, showrunner Alison Schapker announced at a press conference Thursday. The renewal comes a few days ahead of the show’s first-season finale, which debuts Dec. 22 on HBO and Max.

According to HBO, the premiere episode of Dune: Prophecy has racked up 15 million viewers worldwide on Max since its Nov. 17 debut.

“We’re so thrilled and grateful for their support, for our partners at Legendary, and most of all that we get to keep working with these incredible people in front of and behind the camera and get to keep telling this story,” Schapker said.

Added Sarah Aubrey, head of Max original programming, “Dune: Prophecy has captivated audiences around the globe thanks to the visionary leadership of showrunner and executive producer Alison Schapker, who will continue to guide this grand tale of truth and power.

HBO’s Dune: Prophecy will be returning for a second season. The news was announced today during a virtual press conference with showrunner EP Alison Schapker, and stars Emily Watson and Olivia Williams.

The prequel series to Legendary’s Denis Villeneuve-directed Dune movies will air its Season 1 finale on Sunday.

Dune: Prophecy follows the formation of the Bene Gesserit, an order of women who become the puppet masters of the great houses of the Empire on Dune. Watson and Williams play two morally ambiguous sisters running the de facto cult. In the movies, Lady Jessica Atreides, played by Rebecca Ferguson, has ties to the Gesserit. Her spiritual talents fostered with the order have been passed down to her son, Paul Atreides played by Timothee Chalamet.

On the show co-produced by Legendary Television, Travis Fimmel plays Desmond Hart, a rival to the two sisters, who has certain powers. In the finale,...

The latest episode of Dune: Prophecy, "Twice Born," climaxes with an exciting scene during a meeting of the Landsraad, the group of great houses who together control the direction of the Imperium. It does not go how we expect. Desmond Hart (Travis Fimmel), the new attack dog of Emperor Corrino (Mark Strong) makes a public show of using his powers of immolation to execute several people who have broken the sacred prohibition against thinking machines. It's a grisly display of power that will have the great houses thinking twice before they cross the emperor.

Desmond also foils a plot to blow up the whole meeting hatched by a group of rebels, including House Corrino's own swordmaster Kieran Atreides (Chris Mason). And on top of that, the emperor's own daughter Ynez (Sarah-Sofie Boussnina) calls out her dad in public for being complicit in the death of her fiancée Pruitt Richese back in the premiere episode.

Big things are about to happen on Dune: Prophecy, as the HBO prequel series enters the back half of its six-episode season this Sunday. That’s the buzz from several cast members and an executive producer who cited the fourth episode as a favorite.

The official synopsis for the episode “Twice Born” tells us that after nearly all the acolytes have the same nightmare, Reverend Mother Tula (Olivia Williams) attempts to understand the origins of their dreams. Mother Superior Valya meanwhile sets in motion her plan to redeem House Harkonnen.

Dune: Prophecy takes place 10,000 years before the Dune films, yet characters are still using the same energy shields. Despite occurring much earlier on Dune's timeline, Dune: Prophecy bears a notable resemblance to the world and characteristics that audiences are familiar with from Denis Villeneuve's movies. On the one hand, maintaining aesthetic continuity between projects helps build the universe Warner Bros. is looking for, but on the other, it raises questions about technological development.

Part of what makes Dune so fascinating as a sci-fi narrative is that technology doesn't play as prevalent of a role as it does in something like The Matrix or Blade Runner. Sure, there are spaceships and energy shields, but they're not as impactful in the story as the Voice. As addressed in Dune: Prophecy's first episode, computers and artificial intelligence are primarily out of the picture after the Butlerian Jihad, but that still...

What a difference a day (or 3.7 million of ’em) doesn’t make.

Early on in the premiere of HBO’s Dune: Prophecy prequel series — which is set 10,148 years prior to the Timothée Chalamet/Rebecca Ferguson Dune movies — Princess Ynez Corrino (played by Knightfall‘s Sarah-Sofie Boussnina) and swordsman Keiran “Ancestor of Paul” Atreides (Riverdale‘s Chris Mason) train with swords, using personal body shields (aka Holtzman shields) to protect themselves from accidental injury.

HBO dives into the world of the Bene Gesserit with Dune: Prophecy, which premiered on Sunday, November 17, 2024. The series takes place 10,000 years before Dune and a century after the war against AI that led to the banning of thinking machines. Dune: Prophecy explores the creation of the Bene Gesserit, what motivates the Sisterhood, and their use of eugenics that will ultimately lead to the creation of Paul Atreides (played by Timothee Chalamet in Denis Villeneuve’s Dune films).

Prior to the series’ debut, stars Emily Watson (“Valya Harkonnen”), Olivia Williams (“Tula Harkonnen”), Jodhi May (“Empress Natalya Arat Corrino”), and Travis Fimmel (“Desmond Hart”) joined executive producer Jordan Goldberg and showrunner/executive producer Alison Schapker for a press conference. The following are select highlights from the lengthy in-person and virtual press event for one of HBO’s most anticipated series.

The following contains spoilers from the Nov. 17 premiere of Dune: Prophecy on HBO.

Dune: Prophecy, a TV series set 10,148 years prior to the Dune movies starring Timothée Chalamet and Rebecca Ferguson, premiered this Sunday night on HBO.

Dennis Villeneuve’s take on Frank Herbert’s beloved sci-fi saga Dune is something truly special. The two movies released so far have been acclaimed by both fans and critics, who loved the world that the Canadian filmmaker has managed to create. While the film series is moving forward with Dune: Messiah, currently in the works, we know that a prequel series – Dune: Prophecy – is premiering soon.

The series will take us back in the timeline and explore the origins of the conflict seen in the main movies. It will officially be part of Villeneuve’s Dune movie canon, so the fans can look forward to a universe-expanding storyline that will reveal more details about the world of the series.

In light of the upcoming premiere – which is tomorrow, November 17, 2024 – series star Travis Fimmel and writer Jordan Goldberg had a talk with our friends at ScreenRant and in it, the...

Dune: Prophecyis set to premiere this weekend, exploring the world of the Imperium10,000 years before the events of Villeneuves movies.The HBO show explores the intense political landscape that was taking place long before the rise of Paul Atreides, largely focusing on the Harkonnen sisters Valya and Tula and the struggles of the Corrino family to maintain power. The series features a star-studded cast, with talent likeChernobyls Emily Watson,The Crowns Olivia Williams,The Witchers Jodhi May, andVikings Travis Fimmel.

The show also features executive producer Jordan Goldberg, who boasts an impressive creative history, previously working on projects like Westworld and Interstellar. Fimmel plays Desmond Hart, a soldier who aims to align himself with the Corrinos at the expense of the Sisterhood. Much of the show aims to explore the origins of the long-time feud between House Atreides and House Corrino, and the initial betrayals that led to years of conflict.

"Dune: Part Two" remains one of the best blockbusters of the year, a brilliant piece of filmmaking about religion, revenge, and big worms. As good as the movie is, however, it leaves out a lot of the worldbuilding and context that makes the source material by Frank Herbert so special, such as the exact reason why the spice is so important to controlling the universe, how the Bene Gesserit gained so much power and influence, and what exactly mentats do.

That's where "Dune: Prophecy" comes in. Previously titled "Dune: The Sisterhood," the HBO prequel series is set 10,000 years before the events of Herbert's original novel, telling the story of how the Bene Gesserit order was created in the aftermath of the Butlerian Jihad (in which "thinking machines" were wiped out and banned). Given just how absurdly long the time gap between the series and the "Dune" movies is, there is...

Just when you thought the world of "Dune" couldn't possibly get any bigger or more epic, HBO has decided to bring the sci-fi franchise to the small screen with "Dune: Prophecy" -- not with another sequel, but through a prequel series set in the same continuity as director Denis Villeneuve's two movies. Set 10 thousand years before Timothée Chalamet's Paul Atreides became the "hero" of Arrakis and took on the might of the entire Imperium, the spinoff will instead focus on the sect of all-knowing space witches referred to as the Bene Gesserit. Their primary function, you'll recall, has been the manipulation of genetic family trees in a never-ending quest to produce the Kwisatz Haderach, the chosen one figurehead prophesied in eons past to represent the next step of human evolution.

While viewers await Denis Villeneuve’s third Dune film, Max’s Dune: Prophecy series will take audiences back to the world of Frank Herbert’s science fiction novels.

The prequel series takes place long before the characters in Villeneuve’s films fight for control of the galaxy. Co-produced with Legendary Television, the series explores foundations for several key names, figures and families in the universe of Herbert’s books.

For everything we know about Dune: Prophecy, read on.

When does Dune: Prophecy come out?

The prequel show premieres on Max on Sunday, November 17 at 9 p.m. Et/Pt.

How many episodes are in Dune: Prophecy?

The series consists of six episodes.

What is Dune: Prophecy about?

Based on the novel Sisterhood of Dune written by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson, the series takes place 10,000 years before Timothée Chalamet’s Paul Atreides ascended the throne and became the Lisan al Gaib.

Next month, HBO and Max will debut Dune: Prophecy, a TV series spun off from the Dune movies starring Timothée Chalamet. But neither Chalamet nor his character Paul Atreides are anywhere near Dune: Prophecy, which is set 10,000 years in the past. Humanity has barely won a war against thinking machines and is trying to rebuild. Sisters Valya and Tula Harkonnen (Emily Watson and Olivia Williams respectively) are part of the nascent Bene Gesserit sisterhood, which they are trying to use to steer humanity in the right direction.

I won't spoil anything, but I've been lucky enough to see some of the episodes in advance and it's definitely a good watch: moody, interesting and compelling. Or as Emily Watson put it while speaking to Collider, it's a "really tasty, delicious, complicated mess of a dish to get your teeth into."

Vikings veteran Travis Fimmel, who plays the mysterious soldier Desmond Hart,...

The team behind Dune: Prophecy has given a promising update on the show's future beyond its debut season. The series serves as a prequel to Denis Villeneuve's films and focuses on the early days of the powerful Bene Gesserit order. Set 10 thousand years before Paul Atreides' rise, the series explores how the Sisterhood gained power through politics, spirituality, and genetic manipulation. Emily Watson and Olivia Williams lead the Dune: Prophecy cast as Valya and Tula Harkonnen, the ancestors to the main villain of Villeneuve's movies.

In a recent interview with Collider at New York Comic Con, co-creator/showrunner Alison Schapker and executive producer Jordan Goldberg shared their insights into the creative direction and ambition behind Dune: Prophecy. In discussing the show's focus on the origins of the Bene Gesserit, and how the studios pushed them to make the series as epic as possible, the duo confirmed they have...

Long before Paul Atreides rose to incite a galaxy-changing rebellion, another group was trying to forge peace for humanity's future in Dune: Prophecy. The Max show serves as a prequel to Denis Villeneuve's adaptations of Frank Herbert's iconic sci-fi epic novel, shifting the story 10,000 years to the past and exploring the origins of the Bene Gesserit, the mysterious group of women with superhuman abilities who influence various regimes throughout the galaxy. The show primarily focuses on two sisters who would eventually become the founders of the sect and how their early experiences with war led to its creation.

At the forefront of Dune: Prophecy's story are Tula and Valya Harkonnen, the latter of whom is the leader of the early form of the Bene Gesserit known as the Sisterhood, while the former is a Reverend Mother. As the Imperium draws closer to all-out anarchy,...

2024 has already been a massive year for the Dune faithful. In the early months, we got Denis Villeneuve’s much-anticipated Dune: Part Two, a thunderous adaptation of the second half of Frank Herbert’s novel. Then came the news that Villeneueve is, indeed, hard at work on a Part Three, set to adapt sequel novel Dune: Messiah. And that’s not all – before the year is through, we’ll also see Dune: Prophecy, the six-part streaming series unspooling the origins of the Bene Gesserit order, delving deeper into the lore underlying Herbert’s sprawling universe.

The series – which has long been in development in various forms – no longer has direct involvement from Villeneuve and his Dune writer Jon Spaihts. But as executive producer Jordan Goldberg confirms to Empire, it absolutely is “in the same universe” as Villeneuve’s films. “We feel like we have to follow the essence of what Denis has done.

Max has unleashed the full official trailer for the prequel series ‘Dune: Prophecy’ alongside a premiere date for the highly anticipated show.

The six-episode series is set some 10,000 years before the ascension of Paul Atreides.

It 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 cast line-ip includes Emily Watson, Olivia Williams, Travis Fimmel, Jodhi May, Mark Strong, Sarah-Sofie Boussnina, Josh Heuston, Chloe Lea, Jade Anouka, Faoileann Cunningham, Edward Davis, Aoife Hinds, Chris Mason, Shalom Brune-Franklin, Jihae, Tabu, Charithra Chandran, Jessica Barden, Emma Canning, and Yerin Ha.

Alison Schapker serves as the showrunner and an executive producer. Anna Foerster directed multiple episodes and executive produces with Jordan Goldberg, Mark Tobey, John Cameron, Matthew King, Scott Z. Burns, Jon Spaihts, Brian Herbert, Byron Merritt, and Kim Herbert.

Also in trailers – Millie Bobby Brown...

Valya Harkonnen (Emily Watson) declares, “I run a school for young women. We’re not a threat to anyone,” in the full trailer for HBO’s Dune: Prophecy. The trailer debuted during HBO’s panel at the 2024 New York Comic Con, followed by its release online.

HBO previously announced the six-episode season would premiere in November 2024, and now we know the exact date: November 17, 2024. Episodes will air on Sundays at 9pm Et/Pt.

The Dune: Prophecy cast and producers teased new series details and how the show is connected to Denis Villeneuve’s films while discussing the HBO and Max series during New York Comic Con on Thursday.

During the hour-long panel, new footage was teased along with appearances by showrunner Alison Schapker, executive producer Jordan Goldberg, along with cast members Emily Watson (Valya Harkonnen), Olivia Williams (Tula Harkonnen), Travis Fimmel (Desmond Hart), Sarah-Sofie Boussnina (Princess Ynez), Josh Heuston (Constantine Corrino), Chloe Lea (Lila) and Jessica Barden (young Valya Harkonnen).

The panel kicked off with a trailer fortelling troubles “greater than just Arrakis,” with challenges for the King hidden in plain sight and a mission to erase the sisters from existence. Schapker soon after teased where the series will begin, telling attendees “we are in the shadow of the wars” and in the aftermath of the fight against AI. “Computers, thinking machines, have been outlawed.

“Dune: Prophecy,” the highly anticipated prequel series to Denis Villeneuve’s expansive sci-fi trilogy, finally set a release date Thursday.

The six-episode HBO project will drop its first episode on Nov. 17 at 9 p.m. Et/Pt, the “Dune” panel announced out of New York Comic Con. Taking over the Warner Bros. Discovery network’s sought-after Sunday night time slot, new episodes will then air on subsequent Sundays.

The project is inspired by the novel “Sisterhood of Dune,” written by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson.

Along with the announcement, HBO released a new trailer for the project on Thursday.

It’s almost time to return to Arrakis.

The “Dune” prequel series, “Dune: Prophecy,” has finally gotten a release date. The first episode will release on HBO and stream on Max on Sunday, Nov. 17 at 9 p.m. The season is made up of six episodes and will release on Sundays.

The show is set more than 10,000 years before the events of Denis Villeneuve’s “Dune” movies and follows the origins of the Bene Gesserit, the secretive order of powerful witches that influence the sci-fi world’s politics behind the scenes.

While attending New York Comic Con, Dune: Prophecy executive producer Jordan Goldberg explains the extent of Denis Villeneuve's involvement in the upcoming series. Set 10,000 years before the story of Paul Atreides, the series developed by Diane Ademu-John and Alison Schapker will chronicle the origins of the Bene Gesserit through the eyes of Harkonnen sisters Valya (Emily Watson) and Tula (Olivia Williams). Max's Dune: Prophecy marks the third recent installment in the franchise after Villeneuve's two hit films.

During a recent interview with Screen Rant at Nycc, Goldberg provided some clarification regarding Villeneuve's role in the show. According to the EP, Villeneuve has been very hands-off for the entire series, instead focusing efforts on his expansion of the film side of the franchise. Goldberg does call Villeneuve "aspirational," however, in terms the epic scale the show's creative team was going for. Check out Goldberg's comment below:

Well, Denis' got...

Dune: Prophecy executive producer Jordan Goldberg explains how accurate the streaming series is to the books. Taking place 10,000 years before Dune, the prequel is set long before the rise of Paul Atreides as seen in Denis Villeneuve's Dune and Dune: Part Two adaptations of Frank Herbert's original novel. Dune: Prophecy's main cast of characters are Valya Harkonnen (Emily Watson), Tula Harkonnen (Olivia Williams), Empress Natalya (Jodhi May), Princess Ynez (Sarah-Sofie Boussnina), and Emperor Javicco Corrino (Mark Strong).

While speaking with Screen Rant at New York Comic Con, Goldberg clarified that Dune: Prophecy is a close adaptation of Sisterhood of Dune, and its sequels, Mentats of Dune and Navigators of Dune, all of which were written by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson. Goldberg further explains that while many elements are taken from these books, Dune: Prophecy also tells a new story, specifically where the character of Valya is concerned.

Dune: Prophecy executive producer Jordan Goldberg, while at New York Comic Con, explains how the 10,000-year time jump from the movies impacted the show. Developed by Diane Ademu-John and Alison Schapker, the upcoming Max Dune show is based on the writing of author Frank Herbert. Dune: Prophecy's story takes place many centuries before the time of Paul Atreides as depicted in Denis Villeneuve's two movies, chronicling the creation of the Bene Gesserit order, with a focus on the lives of Harkonnen sisters Valya (Emily Watson) and Tula (Olivia Williams).

Speaking with Screen Rant at Nycc, Goldberg addresses Dune: Prophecy's significant time gap from the two movies, explaining how this affected the approach to the story. Ultimately, he says, this kind of long-form storytelling over millennia is in keeping with franchise tradition as outlined in Herbert's books. As far as the show's connections to the movies, Goldberg explains...

Once known as Dune: The Sisterhood, the TV series Dune: Prophecy, which serves as a prequel to the Dune feature films directed by Denis Villeneuve, started filming in November of 2022, then underwent quite a shake-up in 2023 when the director of the first two episodes, Johan Renck (who executive produced and directed all five episodes of the HBO limited series Chernobyl) decided to leave the project over creative issues, then Shirley Henderson (Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire) – who had been cast as one of the show’s lead characters – followed him out the door. Everything has been worked out since then, with Dune: Prophecy on track for a November premiere on both HBO and the Max streaming service… and now we’ve learned that the promotions will begin at New York Comic Con, where attendees will get to experience both a panel and a fan experience.

Here’s the info:

Thursday,...

Ahead of the highly anticipated debut of the HBO Original drama series Dune: Prophecy, co-produced with Legendary Television, Max is treating fans to a robust lineup of special appearances, activations, and screenings. Dune: Prophecy debuts on HBO and Max this November.

The first event will take place at New York Comic Con, where Max will launch the Dune: Prophecy Fan Experience, an interactive activation, on Thursday, October 17, in partnership with Droga5. The same day, the show’s stars and creative team will hit the convention’s Empire Stage to reveal the official trailer and participate in a panel discussion.

“We can’t wait for fans to dive into the world of Dune: Prophecy,” said Pia Barlow, executive vice president of Originals marketing at HBO and Max. “By offering interactive experiences, panels, and special screenings, we’re bringing the epic story of the Sisterhood to life, allowing fans to connect with...

HBO has just dropped the second teaser trailer for Dune: Prophecy (via SFFGazette.com), the upcoming small screen prequel which we believe is meant to be a standalone story unconnected to Denis Villeneuve's movies.

It's also been confirmed today that the show will premiere this November, so we're now just waiting for an exact date.

While not quite as visually stunning as those big screen adaptations, the show does have the same look and feel even if it's hard to shake the feeling it might end up being "Dune on a budget." Still, we're intrigued by what we see here and, for fans of Frank Herbert and the Sisterhood of Dune, written by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson, this story being told on screen is long-overdue.

Last month, Warner Bros. Discovery shifted three of its highest profile Max Originals – Harry Potter, Lanterns and It prequel Welcome To Derry – to become HBO Originals.

The company is now continuing this shift with the move of The Penguin and Dune: Prophecy.

Both shows will now premiere on HBO as well as launching on its Max streaming service.

It is part of a strategy to rebrand its highest profile titles into HBO Originals, giving them a linear airing on the premium cable network as well as a streaming bow.

When the move was originally unveiled in June, the company said it was not sure whether The Penguin, which is set to premiere in September, and Dune: Prophecy would fall under the new branding but this has now been cleared up.
