Set 10,000 years before the events of the *Dune* films, *Dune: Prophecy* follows the story of two Harkonnen sisters, Valya (Emily Watson) and Tula (Olivia Williams), as they navigate a world on the brink of collapse.

The trailer showcases a sprawling and captivating world, filled with vast alien landscapes and towering temple-like interiors. Watson, as the leader of the Bene Gesserit, asserts their ambition to “advance our species and govern the future,” while Valya declares it’s time to “secure the throne and protect the imperium.”
Mark Strong appears as the emperor, who warns that losing control of Arrakis, the desert planet that produces the spice vital for interstellar travel, will lead to his demise, feeding him “to the worm.”
The trailer also introduces Travis Fimmel as Desmond Hart, a potential rival to the Harkonnen sisters who are training a new generation of powerful female mystics.
*Dune: Prophecy* is the latest addition to the *Dune* universe, expanding on the world established by Frank Herbert’s iconic novel and the recent film adaptations.
