by

As a seasoned gamer and a self-proclaimed sci-fi enthusiast with a penchant for epic storylines and immersive experiences, I can hardly contain my excitement over HBO’s upcoming “Dune: Prophecy.” With a life that’s been steeped in virtual worlds and intergalactic adventures, this prequel series promises to transport me back ten thousand years before the rise of Paul Atreides.

This year, HBO is shifting its focus away from sea, air, and desert power. Instead, they’re tapping into something more profoundly impactful – “convergence power.” They’ve announced an immersive Dune: Prophecy experience coming to New York Comic Con. This event will offer panels, screenings, and an interactive activation that demands your attention to “the Call.” Are you prepared to become part of the Sisterhood?

In October, viewers will journey ten millennia back in time with the new HBO and Max series, “Dune: Prophecy”. This captivating prequel will trace the early days of the Bene Gesserit order, focusing on two Harkonnen sisters as they play pivotal roles during its founding. For enthusiasts longing to uncover the origins of this enigmatic sect, a tantalizing preview is set to debut at New York Comic Con starting October 17.

Here’s when the three-day immersive fan engagement event, named the Dune: Prophecy Expedition, kicks off on the 4th floor of the Javits Center. In collaboration with Droga5, HBO describes it as a “stunningly designed experience” that will whisk participants away to the enigmatic realm of Wallach IX, where they’ll be summoned by The Voice to face trials mirroring the Sisterhood’s rigorous training regimen. Those who conquer these challenges will be rewarded with unique NYCC merchandise. And everyone knows that nothing is more valuable than swag!

Fans will want to make sure they don’t miss out on one other exciting opportunity on the 17th. Starting at 3:00 pm, the Dune: Prophecy cast and crew will hit the Empire Stage for a panel. It will feature showrunner and executive producer Alison Schapker as well as executive producer Jordan Goldberg. Stars Emily Watson, Olivia Williams, Travis Fimmel, Sarah-Sofie Boussnina, Josh Heuston, Chloe Lea, and Jessica Barden will also join them onstage. They will surely reveal some tantalizing teases for what’s to come in the series, so if you’re a Dune fan, make sure to make your calendars with this one. The Dune: Prophecy panel will also reveal a new official trailer.

If you can’t make it to New York City that day, don’t worry! You can still catch a screening of Dune: Prophecy at your nearby Alamo Drafthouse theater. Theaters across the nation will be hosting immersive fan screenings for the upcoming show. These events before the official premiere will feature themed food, pre-screening trivia, and other exclusive elements to enhance your experience.

According to Pia Barlow, Executive Vice President of Originals Marketing at HBO and Max, “We’re making the captivating tale of the Sisterhood more real by providing interactive events, discussions, and exclusive screenings.” It’s worth mentioning that a companion podcast titled “Dune: Prophecy” is also forthcoming, offering behind-the-scenes insights from the creators, creative team, and cast for those seeking a deeper connection.

Preparations are underway for the premiere of “Dune: Prophecy” in November, which means that the influence of “book power” will gradually shift towards “tv power.
