What's ‘Dune: Prophecy’ About?
Based on the novel Sisterhood of Dune by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson, Prophecy takes place 10,000 years before Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet) rose to power. The main focus of the series is the sisterhood (a major part of the first two Dune films) and Mother Superior Valya Harkonnen trying to maintain their influence on Throne, which is currently being held by Javicco Corrino. However, when a mysterious man only known as Desmond Hart becomes the king’s new loyal advisor, that control is at a major risk of being lost forever. A series of mind games and power grabs, drenched in Dune’s rich history, takes us through another epic story in Herbert’s acclaimed universe. These are the complicated early days of the Bene Gesserit as we know them to be in the Dune films.
While Prophecy wasn't as beloved as Villeneuve's ongoing film series, with the first season touching on many of the same themes and plot points as it's cinematic big brother, the series has enough of its own ideas to be a worthwhile edition to the franchise. Particularly, the back half of the season is full of twists and turns that'll have any Dune fan on the edge of their seats as Prophecy explores the lineage of some of the world's most well known houses. It also further touched on the “thinking machines” and the machine war that led to their expulsion. This is a topic the mainline films only briefly touched on.
Dune: Prophecy and Villeneuve’s Dune films are currently streaming on Max. As we wait for more news on Messiah and Prophecy Season 2, you can pre-order Season 1 in the physical media format of your choice on Gruv's website.
