Get ready to have your sandblasted socks knocked off because “Dune: Prophecy” finally has a premiere date on HBO! Plus, there’s a new teaser trailer to ogle over like a sandworm eyeing a spice harvest.
From the sprawling, mind-bending universe of Dune, birthed by the legendary Frank Herbert (a man who clearly had a thing for deserts), this new series is set a whopping 10,000 years before Paul Atreides even thought about conquering the universe. The plot? Oh, just your typical sisterly bonding over saving humanity and founding a mystical order known as the Bene Gesserit. You know, light work.
The show features a star-studded lineup including Emily Watson, Olivia Williams, Travis Fimmel, Jodhi May, Mark Strong, Sarah-Sofie Boussnina, Josh Heuston, Chloe Lea, Jade Anouka, Faoileann Cunningham, Edward Davis, Aoife Hinds, Chris Mason, Shalom Brune-Franklin, Camilla Beeput, Jihae, Tabu, Charithra Chandran, Jessica Barden, Emma Canning, and Yerin Ha. That’s right, they cast half of Hollywood, so if you’re missing your favorite actor, chances are they’re in this show.
Mark your calendars and set your spice clocks, because this six-episode saga kicks off in November on HBO. And if you can’t get enough, you can stream it on Max too. Get ready to be hooked faster than you can say “Shai-Hulud!”
