The new series is set 10,000 years before Paul Atreides ever set foot on Arrakis, and charts the creation of the iconic Bene Gesserit sisterhood.

Based on a book in the larger Dune canon – Sisterhood of Dune by Frank Herbert's son Brian Herbert and his co-author Kevin J Anderson – the new series will largely revolve around the sisterhood’s leaders, Valya and Tula Harkonnen, who are being played by Emily Watson and Olivia Williams, respectively, as they battle forces that threaten the future of mankind.
