Ten millennia before the events of Denis Villeneuve's films and Paul Atréides' story, Dune: Prophecy promises to dig a little deeper into the mythology and the universe created by the novelist Frank Herbert in his books.

The series chronicles the political machinations of sisters Valya and Tula Harkonnen, whose mystical power lays the foundation for the Bene Gesserit, the sisterhood that will play such an important role in the fate of the planet Arrakis.
