DUNE: PROPHECY Shares New Trailer and Official Release Date

by

As a seasoned gamer and science-fiction enthusiast, I can hardly contain my excitement for the upcoming HBO Max series, “Dune: Prophecy.” Having grown up immersed in Frank Herbert’s seminal works, the prospect of delving back into the rich lore of this universe ten thousand years before the events of the original Dune is nothing short of mind-blowing.

On the first day of New York Comic Con 2024, things really heated up! HBO and Max managed to create a portal, bringing the team behind Dune: Prophecy directly to the Javits Center. They weren’t just there for a chat about the prequel, though. During the official panel, they announced not only the series premiere date but also released an entirely new trailer. This latest sneak peek at Dune: Prophecy gives us our best look yet. The Sisterhood, who are destined to change the galaxy forever, will face numerous dangerous adversaries. Among them is a powerful figure who knows exactly how much power they’ll wield if left unchecked.

At New York Comic Con, Warner Bros. Discovery unveiled a new trailer for their upcoming series, Dune: Prophecy, which showcased sandworms, mysteries, espionage, swordplay, intimacy, and the allure of spice. This latest preview highlights the perils that the Bene Gesserit will encounter as they strive to become catalysts for change in the cosmos during an era when the true potential of spice was just beginning to be revealed, making their ambitious plans a formidable challenge.

During this period, the Sisterhood will work hard to gain the Emperor’s attention and either persuade him to take their advice or place one of their own as ruler. This promises an exhilarating first season filled with challenges. However, they’ll face stiff opposition from Travis Fimmel’s character, Desmond Hart. A new addition to the cast, he exudes a powerful presence in the trailer. The teaser hints at his potential immense power, as he’s shown bleeding from his back and having visions of someone being burned alive. Regardless of whether he’s human or not, it appears that the Emperor is already listening to him.

Will this fervent religious figure have a lasting impact on the Bene Gesserit’s objectives? We’ll only discover that once the series airs. Fortunately, we now know exactly when that will occur: HBO announced during their panel that “Dune: Prophecy” is set to premiere on November 17, 2024.

In a departure from Denis Villeneuve’s film adaptations of Frank Herbert’s iconic novel Dune, HBO and Max are transporting viewers to an era much older than the events depicted in those movies. We’re talking about ten thousand years earlier, a time when Arrakis was not yet home to Paul Atreides. The upcoming series, titled Dune: Prophecy, is set during this distant period, marking the beginning of the Harkonnen sisters’ clandestine foundation of the Bene Gesserit order.

In the series ‘Altered Carbon’, Alison Schapker takes on the role of executive producer, or showrunner. The cast includes Emily Watson, Olivia Williams, 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.

In this treacherous period known as the Dune era, the number of individuals who manage to make it through depends largely on their ability to steer clear of the one wielding mystical abilities. Even if he doesn’t possess powers, it’s still wise to keep a safe distance from him.

Don’t forget, you can catch every significant panel from this year’s New York Comic Con in the comfort of your own home, courtesy of our free live streams which will be available throughout all four days!
