New Dune: Prophecy Trailer Shows Off Sword Fights And Bene Gesserit Schemes

As a long-time fan of the intricate and captivating world of Frank Herbert’s “Dune,” I cannot contain my excitement as we get closer to the release of new content set in this beloved universe. The anticipation for Denis Villeneuve’s “Dune: Messiah” is palpable, but unfortunately, its release date remains uncertain. While we wait, HBO comes to our rescue with the upcoming series “Dune: Prophecy,” which promises to delve into the lore of the Bene Gesserit, 10,000 years before Paul Atreides’ story.


As a dedicated gamer and fan of Denis Villeneuve’s Dune universe, I’m often left pondering: “When can I look forward to the next installment in his Dune saga, Messiah?” Although we have a confirmed release date for his upcoming film on December 18, 2026, it remains uncertain if this will be the final chapter of the trilogy or another project entirely. Nevertheless, fellow fans need not despair, as the HBO series Dune: Prophecy is slated to premiere in 2024, providing a tantalizing sneak peek with a freshly released trailer set for November this year. While we don’t have an exact release date just yet, it’s another opportunity to immerse ourselves back into the captivating world of Dune.

As a long-time fan of Frank Herbert’s “Dune” saga, I have eagerly awaited any new developments in this rich and intriguing universe. Having read the original novels multiple times, I was both surprised and intrigued when I came across news of a prequel series titled “Dune: Prophecy.”

As a devoted fan, I’m thrilled about the new trailer that offers a sneak peek into the complex power dynamics within the Bene Gesserit order in the Dune universe, even before the events depicted in Denis Villeneuve’s films. This intriguing glimpse into their hierarchy will add depth to the already rich tapestry of this captivating universe. Furthermore, it’s promising to see the return of iconic elements like sword fights and hand-to-hand combat from Dune lore.

Just like the popular films it connects to, Dune: Prophecy boasts a stellar ensemble of recognized actors and emerging talents. Leading the way are Emily Watson and Olivia Williams as Valya and Tula Harkonnen, forebears of Baron Vladamir Harkonnen (Stellan SkarsgĂ„rd) and his nefarious nephews Feyd-Rautha (Austin Butler) and Glossu Rabban (Dave Bautista). Mark Strong portrays Emperor Javicco Corrino, while Travis Fimmel of “Vikings” fame joins the supporting cast alongside Jodhi May, Sarah-Sofie Boussnina, Aoife Hinds, and others.

I was thrilled when I first heard that Dune: Prophecy was in development for Max as an original series. But lately, there have been some exciting changes. Instead of being a show that exclusively streams on Max, it’s now set to air on HBO, joining the esteemed ranks of iconic series like The Sopranos, The Wire, and Game of Thrones. Of course, for those with an HBO subscription, episodes will still be available to watch on Max after their initial broadcast. Similarly, Welcome To Derry, the upcoming Stephen King adaptation, which is a prequel to IT and IT: Chapter Two, has also made this shift to premiering on HBO before coming to Max.

Dune: Prophecy, a new HBO series produced by Diane Ademu-John, has been in the works since filming began in November 2022. It’s taken some time, but it appears that extra time was used wisely to make the show as grand as Denis Villeneuve’s films. Keep an eye out for further information and developments as we eagerly await its debut on television sometime this November. In the meantime, consult the TV premiere schedule to prepare your next binge-watching session.
