HBO has released the latest trailer for “Dune: Prophecy,” a new television series set 10,000 years before the events of “Dune.” The six-episode season debuts on HBO in November.
The cast includes Emily Watson, Olivia Williams, Camilla Beeput, Sarah Lam, Travis Fimmel, Jodhi May, Mark Strong, Jade Anouka, Sarah-Sofie Boussnina and Chris Mason.
“Dune: Prophecy,” previously titled “Dune: The Sisterhood,” is based on the book “Sisterhood of Dune” by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson. According to an official logline, the show “follows the Harkonnen Sisters (Watson, Williams) as they combat forces that threaten the future of humankind, and establish the fabled sect known as the Bene Gesserit.” The trailer shows the early days of the Bene Gesserit and plenty of plotting and scheming for power in space.
