Multiple Fan Events Planned For Dune Prophecy

Dune ain’t done: the main storyline everyone knows with Paul Atreides may have already been told across two films, but there are more books in the series out there, and thus, more movies to come…and TV shows. Dune Prophecy is the name of a prequel miniseries set to arrive on Max this November, based on the novel “Sisterhood of Dune” written by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson.

Atreides was planned to be the society’s positioned “messiah” long before he was born. The seeds were planted by the founding members of the Bene Gesserit 10,000 years prior, which we’ll see happen in Dune Prophecy. “[The series] follows two Harkonnen sisters as they combat forces that threaten the future of humankind and establish the fabled sect,” reads WB’s official description.

WB is planning three special public events to spread the word about Dune Prophecy; two of them will be held at New York Comic-Con next month. The “Dune Prophecy Experience” will be an interactive exhibit where visitors can undergo the trials of the Sisterhood (hopefully nothing involving a box of pain). On October 17 a panel for the miniseries will be held featuring cast members and showeunner Alison Schapker. In November fan screenings of premiere episodes will take place at Alamo Drafthouse prior to their release on Max.

• Thursday, October 17-Sunday, October 20  – “Dune: Prophecy Experience” at NYCC
  • Max, in partnership with Droga5, will unveil “The Dune: Prophecy Experience” in the 4th floor Pavilion of the Javits Center. This beautifully rendered activation will transport participants to the mysterious world of Wallach IX, where The Voice will command them to undergo a series of trials reflecting the Sisterhood’s rigorous training methods. Those who heed the commands of the Sisterhood and successfully complete the challenges will be rewarded with exclusive NYCC swag.
• Thursday, October 17 (3:00-4:00pm ET) – NYCC Cast and Creatives Panel on the Empire Stage
  • Showrunner and executive producer Alison Schapker, executive producer Jordan Goldberg, and cast members Emily Watson, Olivia Williams, Travis Fimmel, Sarah-Sofie Boussnina, Josh Heuston, Chloe Lea and Jessica Barden will reveal the official trailer and tease what fans can expect from the new series. Immediately following its in-room debut, the trailer will be released globally to the public.
