Behind every great man is a shadowy cabal of scheming, ruthless women. Dune: Prophecy will help us understand the role the Bene Gesserit played in the rise of Paul Atreides, 10,000 years later.
“10,000 years before the birth of Paul Atreides, before the universe would know us as the Bene Gesserit, we founded a sisterhood,” a woman’s voice narrates over a haunting, futuristic landscape. “We created a network of influence throughout the Imperium, but power comes with a price.”
That price is what’s going to be explored in the upcoming HBO / Max series Dune: Prophecy, formerly Dune: The Sisterhood aka Dune: The Sisterhood Of The Spice Girls (just kidding!)
The new series is a prequel of sorts to the films from director Denis Villeneuve.
