Emily Watson and Olivia Williams as the Harkonnen sisters looking concerned in Dune: Prophecy
The Shakesperian and manipulative galaxy of Dune is expanding in a profound way with Dune: Prophecy - the new prequel series to Denis Villeneuve's acclaimed feature films. The universe of Frank Herbert's epic sci-fi franchise is famous for packing in complex characters with cut-throat political intrigue, and that same dramatic style appears to be on full display in Dune: Prophecy.
" Dune is so dense, it's so well thought out, it's so vivid, and it wouldn't be Dune unless we embrace that aspect of it. It goes back to what the cast is saying, when you try and ground everything through character, I do believe it becomes more understandable. We really try to have multiple levels in the show, so if you've never seen the movies, or if you haven't read the books, you can come in through these characters and discover the world.
"This show is about the origin of the Bene Gesserit, the sisters you might have seen in Denis ’s movies if you watch them. We're set 10,000 years before the film, but we're in the distant future. We're also 10,000 years, about, from now, and we are in the shadow of The Great Machine Wars. Humans have defeated artificial intelligence, and thinking machines are banned and now humanity is in a period of rebuilding. We sometimes joke that it's the Dark Ages of Dune.
