The spin-off show is set to premiere in November, with new episodes launching weekly. Fans can catch the action on Sky Atlantic and Now starting from 18 November.
The upcoming series delves into the origins of the Bene Gesserit, the enigmatic sisterhood known for their manipulation of power in Frank Herbert’s sci-fi masterpiece, Dune. Taking place 10,000 years before the events of Dune, the show features Emily Watson and Olivia Williams portraying sisters Valya and Tula Harkonnen, who establish the Bene Gesserit order on the planet Arrakis.
Viewers can expect a mix of political intrigue, mystical powers, and the iconic giant sandworms that define the world of Dune. The Harkonnen sisters must navigate the complex political terrain of Arrakis while contending with rival factions vying for control of the planet’s valuable spice reserves.
The series kicks off on Sunday 17 November on HBO in the US, translating to early hours of Monday 18 November in the UK.
