As a hardcore fan of epic fantasies with a penchant for intricate narratives and richly developed characters, I am absolutely thrilled about HBO’s upcoming series ‘Dune: Prophecy’. The tantalizing glimpse of its sharp exchanges, reminiscent of the legendary spats between Olenna Tyrell and Cersei Lannister in ‘Game of Thrones’, has me hooked.
The new HBO series ‘Dune: Prophecy’, set in the world of Dune, appears to blend elements reminiscent of a celestial take on the political intrigue and drama found in ‘Game of Thrones’.
Discussions among fans are ablaze over the latest episode clip, with many likening it to iconic interactions from earlier seasons of ‘Game of Thrones’, such as the pointed dialogues between Lady Olenna Tyrell and Cersei Lannister.
Set to debut on November 17, 2024, the six-part series titled ‘Dune: Prophecy’ serves as a precursor to Denis Villeneuve’s ongoing Dune movie trilogy and is scheduled for its premiere then.
Power comes with a price.
The new HBO Original Series #DuneProphecy premieres November 17 on Max.

This series was originated by Diane Ademu-John and Alison Schapker, and it draws inspiration from the 2012 book “Sisterhood of Dune” penned by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson.
The narrative is set 10,000 years before the character Paul Atreides portrayed by Timothée Chalamet, with a focus on the ascension of the Bene Gesserit.
The ensemble cast features Emily Watson and Olivia Williams as the Harkonnen sisters, Valya and Tula, with Jodhi May playing Empress Natalya. Other key roles include Sarah-Sofie Boussnina, Shalom Brune-Franklin, Aoife Hinds, and Jade Anouka, each bringing depth to this richly woven narrative.
Emily Watson’s depiction of Valya is notably captivating. She portrays her character as a demanding maternal figure, who readies her wards for endurance under harsh circumstances. As she puts it, ‘It’s about survival, making them ready for what lies ahead.’
In addition to the impressive cast, Mark Strong takes on the role of Emperor Javicco Corrino, while Travis Fimmel is depicted as Desmond Hart.
Alison Schapker, the showrunner, provides insights into the story’s construction, explaining that it unfolds across various timeframes. The main focus is on Valya Harkonnen’s rise within the Sisterhood, and her past is thoroughly examined. In simpler terms, she says, ‘We’re narrating a tale that happens at different points in time… And this is the part of the story happening right now.’
The series guides audiences through the complex political landscape and daunting obstacles confronting the powerful Harkonnen sisters, setting the stage for an epic tale that centers around the crucial characters who ultimately found the famed Bene Gesserit order.
