Review: Dune: Prophecy
Every franchise has to expand from one medium to another now; it’s the law. As such, after two movies and at least one more set to hit theaters in 2026, Dune now has a prequel TV series, Dune: Prophecy.
Set ten thousand years before the films, the show follows two Harkonnen sisters, Valya (Emily Watson) and Tula (Olivia Williams), who were instrumental in making the witchy sisterhood of the Bene Gesserit into the formidable group that shaped the events of their sci-fi world from the shadows. A group of powerful women who took an approach to molding the galaxy that was essentially very feminine, they are at once both inspirational and traditional, transcending stereotypes while adhering to them.
