Set against the backdrop of the Battle of Corrin, millennia before the birth of Paul Atreides, “Dune: Prophecy” chronicles the origins of the enigmatic Bene Gesserit sisterhood.

Lead by Emily Watson’s Mother Superior Valya Harkonnen, the teaser presents a tapestry of stunning visuals and tantalizing dialogue that sets the stage for an epic storytelling experience. “Before we were known as the Bene Gesserit, we forged a sisterhood,” declares Watson’s character, hinting at the intricate web of influence and power that defines the series.
