This series uses material from the Great Schools of Dune trilogy, by Brian Herbert and Kevin J
Story
Two Harkonnen sisters battle forces that threaten the future of humanity and establish the legendary sect that will become known as the Bene Gesserit. Whether they’re exploring the stars, escaping dystopias, or making the world a better place, these women are what sci-fi is all about. Anderson.
This spin-off is more like Game of Thrones than Dune
A prequel to the original Dune, it tells how the Rossak Sisterhood evolved into the Bene Gesserit. The incident with Valya Harkonnen using the voice is from one called ‘Mentats of Dune.’ The three books intertwine the development of the Sisterhood, the Mentats, the Navigators, and the Suk Doctors. It is referenced in AniMat’s Crazy Cartoon Cast: The New Normal (2020).
That said, Dune: Prophecy is everything I expected and more
It’s a great spin-off of a beloved film franchise. I should start off by saying that I’ve never read the source material or seen the original film. My experience with Dune is based on the two Dune films that have come out in recent years starring Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya.
I love them both, so I had high expectations for this series
Those two films (especially Dune: Part Two) are two of my favorite films that I’ve seen in recent years. Dune: Prophecy is a series that takes place 10,000 years before the Dune films begin and is about how the Harkonnen sisters started the Bene Gesserit as the fight against forces that threaten the future of humanity. The show may feel more like Game of Thrones than Dune, but either way… it’s highly entertaining.
You don’t need to have seen both Dune films to enjoy it, but you’ll certainly enjoy it more if you have
The most important thing about this show is that it does exactly what it set out to do, which is to deepen our understanding of the Bene Gesserit.
