The series, Dune: Prophecy, serves as a prequel to Denis Villeneuve’s films, delving into the origins of the influential Bene Gesserit order. Set 10,000 years before the rise of Paul Atreides, it chronicles how the Sisterhood cemented its power through political maneuvering, spiritual practices, and genetic experimentation.
Emily Watson and Olivia Williams star as Valya and Tula Harkonnen, ancestors of the central villain in Villeneuve’s Dune adaptations.
