Alison Schapker talks Dune Prophecy Season 1.
The Big Picture ✕ Remove Ads When it comes to television, what exactly does it mean to do it all? With over 20 years of experience in writing and producing for television, Alison Schapker perfectly exemplifies this phrase. Schapker has a great deal of experience in the science fiction genre, which she brings to the upcoming Dune prequel series, Dune Prophecy, as its showrunner.
✕ Remove Ads Relatable human beings and a fantastical world. I mean, isn't that what it's all about? To make you feel like you're in there right along with them? But I will say the core the idea that we were gonna serve as an Imperial family, that we were going to see the Great Houses, and the sense of politics, that the Sisterhood had to have its own world and be its own organization, that we were gonna follow both the leaders of the Sisterhood when they were young students, but also see the young students who they're training, who, as the series, if we are so lucky to continue, how to grow those characters over time.
✕ Remove Ads I love the Harkonnen sisters. I think they're the beating heart of the show, but I also would say the character that leapt to life in a fun way was Harrow Harkonnen, who doesn't even come in in a big way until Episode 4, really. But by the end, I just find myself enjoying him so much. That's a small surprise.
SCHAPKER: Oh, yeah, which was very interesting, and I hadn't seen. I think for me, Dune is very much a story where the past is alive in the present, and it's shaping the future, and all those things are speaking to each other. So, I really do want to continue to sort of toggle between points where decisions were put in play, and who were people then versus now they're playing out and who are people now, and what time does to people and to plans over time.
SCHAPKER: That's interesting. This is probably not a good answer based on that question, but honestly, I had people I was working with, and some who I had worked with before on Westworld, who I just had such high confidence that we were going to be able to find what we needed. It was always a question of when. So, it was like a, “When is the location gonna reveal itself to us,” kind of a thing.
