HBO MaxTen thousand years before the ascension of Paul Atreides, sisters Valya and Tula Harkonnen establish the fabled sect and female order that would become known as the Bene Gesserit to control the future of humankind.
If the magnificent sequel Dune: Part Two wasn’t enough spice for your life, this year also brings the prequel TV series Dune: Prophecy. Debuting November 17 on HBO and Max, where you can also watch Denis Villeneuve’s Certified Fresh Dune movies, the show follows the origins of the sisterhood known as the Bene Gesserit.

Here’s what critics are saying about Dune: Prophecy

It s not a series for everyone, but for those who enjoy more political and dense science fiction, Dune: Prophecy offers an intriguing premise with great potential. ... The first episode of Dune Prophecy, HBO Max s new foray into the world of Frank Herbert s universe, unfortunately feels drab and uninspired.
