The series uses material from the Great Schools of Dune trilogy by Brian Herbert and Kevin J
Tale
Two Harkonnen sisters fight against forces that threaten the future of humanity and establish a mythical sect called the Bene Gesserit. About all.. Anderson.
AniMat's Crazy Cartoon Cast: The New Normal (2020)
A prequel to the original Dune, it tells the story of Roszak’s sister’s evolution into the Bene Gesserit. The story of Valya Harkonnen’s use of the voice of the Mentats of Dune is told in the 'Mentats of Dune' All three books relate the development of the Sisterhood, the Mentats, the Navigators, and The Suk Doctors.. This spinoff is more like Game of Thrones than it is like Dune.
It’s a great twist on a beloved film franchise
Having said that, Dune: Prophecy is everything I expected it to be and more. I have to start by saying that I have never read the source material or seen the original film. My Dune experience is predicated on the two Dune movies that have come out in the last few years, starring Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya.
I love them both so much that I had high hopes for this series
Those two movies (especially Dune: Part II) are two of my favorite movies I have seen in the last few years. Dune: Prophecy is a series that takes place 10,000 years before the Dune movies and tells the story of how the Harkonnen sisters founded the Bene Gesserit to fight against forces that threaten the future of humanity. The show may feel more like Game of Thrones than Dune, but still…it is a lot of fun.
You don’t need to have seen the two Dune films to enjoy this, but you’ll definitely enjoy it more if you have
The most important thing about this show is that it does exactly what it sets out to do in that it deepens our understanding of the Bene Gesserit.
