'We are a sort of close adaptation...'
Dune: Prophecy executive producer Jordan Goldberg explains how accurate the streaming series is to the books. Taking place 10,000 years before Dune, the prequel is set long before the rise of Paul Atreides as seen in Denis Villeneuve's Dune and Dune: Part Two adaptations of Frank Herbert's original novel. Dune: Prophecy's main cast of characters are Valya Harkonnen , Tula Harkonnen , Empress Natalya , Princess Ynez , and Emperor Javicco Corrino .
We are a sort of close adaptation of The Sisterhood of Dune. I think that trilogy kind of tells that story that keeps going in the other two books. So, naturally, we move out there in the other two books as well, taking what we need from it to tell our story. And we also get to tell a new story that's not in the books and that is about Valya Harkonnen's stewardship of the Sisterhood.

Our Take On Jordan Goldberg's Comments Dune: Prophecy Can Have The Best Of Both Worlds Dune: Prophecy is the perfect follow-up to the critical and commercial success of Dune: Part Two. The focus on Valya's story that is not in the books is an effective way to build on the lore of the Harkonnen family and the Bene Gesserit established in the recent Dune adaptations.
