The upcoming Max prequel series "Dune: Prophecy" has cast legendary Indian actress Tabu in a recurring role. The show, originally commissioned in 2019 under the title "Dune: The Sisterhood," is based on the novel "Sisterhood of Dune" by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson.

 

The official logline states, “Set within the expansive universe of ‘Dune,’ created by acclaimed author Frank Herbert, and 10,000 years before the ascension of Paul Atreides, ‘Dune: Prophecy’ follows two Harkonnen sisters as they combat forces that threaten the future of humankind, and establish the fabled sect that will become known as the Bene Gesserit.”

 

The series has yet to set a premiere date.

 

Tabu will recur in the role of Sister Francesca. The character is described as “Strong, intelligent, and alluring. Sister Francesca leaves a lasting impression in her wake. Once a great love of the Emperor, her return to the palace strains the balance of power in the capital.”

 

“Dune: Prophecy” will also star: Emily Watson, Olivia Williams, Travis Fimmel, Johdi May, Mark Strong, Sarah-Sofie Boussnina, Josh Heuston, Chloe Lea, Jade Anouka, Faoileann Cunningham, Edward Davis, Aoife Hinds, Chris Mason, and Shalom Brune-Franklin. The series has had a long road to the screen, including multiple showrunner changes and a creative reset in 2023.
