Dune: Prophecy Trailer Reveals The Sisterhood's Greatest Enemy

As a dedicated fan of the Dune saga, I’ve traversed the vast expanse of Arrakis more times than I can count, and the latest development has sent my spice-addled mind spinning! The upcoming HBO series, Dune: Prophecy, promises to delve into the origins of the enigmatic Bene Gesserit Sisterhood, a tale that’s been tantalizingly hinted at in the original books.


As a dedicated gamer, I can’t help but feel the thrill of anticipation for HBO’s upcoming Dune prequel series, “Dune: Prophecy.” This intriguing tale unfolds 10,000 years prior to the movie events, focusing on the Sisterhood that would eventually rise to become the formidable Bene Gesserit. However, the latest trailer for this series presents a chilling twist – a man with an insatiable ambition to eradicate the very existence of the Sisterhood. The stakes are high, and I can hardly wait to see how their story unfolds!

In this series, Travis Fimmel portrays Desmond Hart, an outsider who confides in Emperor Javicco Corrino (Mark Strong) about the Sisterhood’s growing power and its potential threat to his empire. To some extent, Desmond is correct, and the head of the Sisterhood, Valya Harkonnen (Emily Watson), fails to convince him that she isn’t a foe. If this conflict is for the soul of the empire, then the Sisterhood appears to be on the defensive while Desmond moves forward against them.

At New York Comic Con, the trailer for the series was debuted, offering a sneak peek into what lies ahead. During this event, the creative team and cast members gave hints about the upcoming storyline. Series showrunner Alison Schapker further set up the narrative by disclosing that “Dune: Prophecy” is set in the aftermath of humanity’s conflict with intelligent machines.

As a gamer, I find myself dwelling in the aftermath of wars, where machines capable of thinking have been outlawed. It’s intriguing to ponder if these artificial minds are still lurking somewhere in the cosmos. With technology now banned, humans are left to step into the void, striving to surpass the boundaries once held by our mechanical counterparts. We’re eagerly trying to redefine what it truly means to be human.

Dune: Prophecy will premiere on HBO and Max on November 17.
