The prophecy teaser takes the action back 10,000 years

This week, streaming services join linear networks in unveiling some of the projects they’re pitching in an effort to win over advertisers. After Prime Video went live on Tuesday, it was Warner Bros.’ turn. Discovery on Wednesday. The company surprised many by releasing a teaser trailer for Dune: Prophecya six-episode Dune prequel series coming to Max this fall.

The spinoff takes place 10,000 years before the events of the Dune films. It follows two Harkonnen sisters who deal with a threat to humanity as they create the sisterhood that would eventually become the Bene Gesserit. Dune: Prophecy is based on the novel The Sisterhood of Dune by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson.

The series stars Emily Watson, Olivia Williams, Travis Fimmel, Jodie May and the always great Mark Strong. The trailer makes the show look suitably big in scope, though you’ll have to wait a few more months for it to arrive.

In the meantime, you’ll be able to watch soon Dune: Part Two of Max (although we recommend catching this heart-pounding epic on a giant screen if it’s still playing in a theater near you). The sequel hits the streaming service next week on May 21.

Also, it might be too early for a trailer for the second season of The last of us, though WBD released the first official images. The shots of Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie (Bella Ramsay) don’t give much away, but fans of the second game in the series might recognize those fairy lights behind Joel’s gorgeous mane. The last of us will return to HBO and Max in 2025, hopefully on January 1st.
