It’s all about the struggle to gain power and then hold on to it in this riveting new series that’s set 10,148 years before Paul Atreides was born. Loosely based on the 2012 novel Sisterhood of Dune, by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson, Dune: Prophecy has all of the franchise trappings that you’re familiar with: political maneuvering among the universe’s ruling houses, backstabbing and surprise deaths, conniving villains, spice, and sandworms. In this Goggler exclusive, we spoke with Emily Watson and Olivia Williams about creating their characters, the legacy of the Sisterhood, and believing in their convictions.
Dune: Prophecy premieres on HBO and Max on November 19.
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, by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson.
Dune: Prophecy was created by Alison Schapker, and 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, and Yerin Ha.
