Dune: Prophecy series draws inspiration from Villeneuve's films, set to premiere in 2024
"Dune: Prophecy," a new HBO series, is set to premiere in 2024 and will explore themes of history and prophecy. Showrunner Alison Schapker noted that the series draws inspiration from Denis Villeneuve's films, aiming to capture their visual beauty and character depth. The show is a prequel, taking place 10,000 years before the events of Villeneuve's adaptations. Schapker expressed both excitement and apprehension about creating a series that connects to the established Dune universe while offering a fresh narrative through six episodes. "Dune: Prophecy" will air on Sundays at 9 PM ET on HBO and will be available for streaming on Max. The series aims to build on the cinematic legacy while allowing for a more expansive storytelling approach.
