This highly anticipated spin-off promises to expand the rich universe of Frank Herbert’s iconic saga, exploring the origins of one of its most enigmatic factions.

Dune: Prophecy centers around sisters Valya and Tula Harkonnen, portrayed by Emily Watson and Olivia Williams, respectively.

The show boasts a stellar ensemble cast, including Travis Fimmel, Mark Strong, Jade Anouka, Chris Mason, Jodhi May, Josh Heuston, Tabu, Sarah-Sofie Boussnina, and Shalom Brune-Franklin. Each actor brings depth to their roles, promising to create a dynamic and engaging narrative that complements the larger Dune mythology.

Created by Diane Ademu-John, Dune: Prophecy is helmed by showrunner and writer Alison Schapker, alongside additional writing by Jordan Goldberg. The direction comes from a talented trio: Anna Foerster, John Cameron, and Richard J. Lewis, all of whom bring a wealth of experience to this ambitious project.

Mark your calendars: Dune: Prophecy is set to begin streaming on Max on November 17th, 2024. As anticipation builds, fans of the Dune franchise can expect a visually stunning and narratively rich exploration of its origins, setting the stage for the epic saga that follows.
