Denis Villeneuve's Dune movies have quickly cemented themselves as one of the biggest sci-fi franchises of the 21st century (read our Dune: Part One and Dune: Part Two reviews to find out why). Now the world of Dune is expanding to TV, as an original series set thousands of years before the events of the movies with Dune: Prophecy.
The estate of Frank Herbert is involved in the series as producers, Dune: Prophecy is not based directly on any of his Dune books, but it is in the family. Its story about the formation of the mysterious, powerful society in the Dune Universe, the Bene Gesserit, is based on the book Sisterhood of Dune, written by Brian Herbet and Kevin J. Anderson.
