“Dune: The Prophecy” releases the trailer for the spin-off series about the Bene Gesserit

This November it will receive “Dune: The Prophecy”, one of HBO’s promised productions that will extend the cinematic universe of “Dune”, based on the science fiction novel by Frank Herbert that director Denis Villeneuve (“Arrival” and “Blade Runner 2045”) began to adapt to make his first saga on the big screen. For its part, this spin-off will have writer and producer Alison Schapker at the head of the project as the showrunner, and the plot will develop the story of two Harkonnen sisters who will establish a legendary sect that will be known as the Bene Gesserit, and will define the destiny of 10,000 years later: when Duke Leto’s young son, Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet in the films), be pointed out as the messiah.

Anderson. As for the performances, as we had anticipated, the main cast will feature Emily Watson (“Chernobyl”, “My pet is a monster”), while Shirley Henderson (“Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets”, “Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason”) decided to disassociate herself from the project with differences in modifications that were implemented along the way. It was not the only one, since the previous director of the project, Johan Renck, is no longer in the assembly, which by the way, in the first instance contemplated that Villeneuve could direct some episodes so that the result would be similar to that of the films. However, this did not prosper. The cast is then completed by Olivia Williams (“The Sixth Sense”), Travis Fimmel (“
Vikings”), Jodhi May (“The Last of the Mohicans”), Mark Strong (“Kingsman: The Secret Service”, “Sherlock Holmes”), Sarah-Sofie Boussnina (“1864”), Josh Heuston (“Heartbreak High”), Chloe Lea (“Katy”), Jade Anouka (“His Dark Materials”), Faoileann Cunningham (“The Northman”), Edward Davis (“Shadow and Bone”), Aoife Hinds (“Normal People”), Chris Mason (“Riverdale”), Shalom Brune-Franklin (“The Tourist”), singer and actress Camilla Beeput, Jihae (“Succession”), Tabu (“A Good Match”), Charithra Chandran (“Bridgerton”), Jessica Barden (“The End of the F***ing World”), Emma Canning (“Citadel”) and Yerin Ha (“Halo”).” Dune: The Prophecy” releases the trailer for the spin-off series about the Bene GesseritDiane Ademu-John (“The Haunting of Bly Manor”) co-wrote the series and is an executive producer.
