Dune: Prophecy showrunner Alison Schapker says you don't need to have seen Denis Villeneuve's films to enjoy the upcoming prequel series. She's confident, even, that you could go into the new TV show completely cold, with it acting as a good "point of entry" to the sci-fi franchise.
"You don't need to have read the books, and you don't even need to see Denis's films, or David Lynch's Dune, or other Dune television series," she tells SFX magazine in the new issue, which features Wicked on the cover and hits newsstands on November 1. "This can be a point of entry if that's how you're approaching Dune. If you're a Dune super-fan, I also think it's really fun to come to this with all the knowledge."
