“Dune: The Prophecy” (Fall 2024)
Formerly under the working title “Dune: The Sisterhood,” Bloys announced the “Dune” spinoff series is expected to premiere on Max in the fall of 2024. It’s currently finishing shooting in Europe, and he “hopes” to have it ready to debut before the end of the year.
In February 2023, “Dune: The Prophecy” lost its director, Johan Renck, and one of its cast members, Shirley Henderson. Production began in November 2022, but was put on hold to find replacements.
“As ‘Dune: The Sisterhood’ has entered a pre-scheduled hiatus, there are some creative changes being made to the production in an effort to create the best series possible and stay true to the source material,” an HBO Max spokesperson said
at the time. “Johan Renck has completed his work on the series and a new director will be brought on; through mutual agreement, Johan is moving on to pursue other projects. Additionally, Shirley Henderson will be exiting the series and will no longer be playing Tula Harkonnen.”
“The Prophecy” is a prequel to Denis Villeneuve’s adaptation of Frank Herbert’s classic sci-fi novel “Dune.” It’s set 10,000 years before the events depicted in the 2021 film and follows the Harkonnen Sisters, a clan that battles forces threatening the future of mankind, and the establishment of the fabled sect known as the Bene Gesserit.
