Dune Prophecy Teaser Released: Fans Decode Clues to Spot Francesca, Tabu’s Sister, in the Prequel
The highly anticipated trailer for the web series Dune: Prophecy was revealed on Wednesday, leaving fans buzzing with excitement. Drawing inspiration from Frank Herbert’s expansive Dune universe, particularly Sisterhood of Dune, the HBO series explores the origins of the Bene Gesserit. With Emily Watson’s portrayal of Valya Harkonnen at the forefront, viewers eagerly dissected the trailer, hoping to catch a glimpse of Tabu. Dune: Prophecy teaser The official description of the series sets the stage, stating, “Set 10,000 years before the rise of Paul Atreides, Dune: Prophecy follows the journey of two Harkonnen sisters as they face formidable forces that threaten the future of humanity, while establishing the legendary sect known as the Bene Gesserit.”
In the teaser, we witness the beginnings of the Bene Gesserit as they begin to exert their influence within the Imperium, under the leadership of Valya. Fans eagerly searched for Tabu, hoping to see her presence in the trailer. However, amidst the glimpses of various characters in the 1-minute-34-second teaser, it remains unclear if Tabu was among them. One fan reacted to the teaser on X (formerly Twitter), saying, “But no Tabu. I’m assuming her role is either so significant that they don’t want to reveal it or it’s a smaller role. Nevertheless, with or without her, I have always been excited for anything related to my latest favorite child, and that’s DUNE.”
Can’t help but compare it with Denis’s and Greig Fraser’s stunning work in the movies.
Without comparing, this still looks good (If not great). They have tried to get that aesthetics. I love the world of Dune. So it’s a no brainer that I will be watching this. #DuneProphecy https://t.co/E8dDqARUm0— The Nitpicker (@Nitpicker2049) May 15, 2024
Another fan expressed their thoughts, saying, “I’m not getting the Dune vibes. Maybe it’s because the distinctive style of Denis Villeneuve has become synonymous with Dune. Nonetheless, I am hopeful and excited for Tabu.” However, some fans were convinced that they had spotted Tabu, sharing screenshots of a veiled character or a shot of a bare back. The cast of Dune: Prophecy includes Emily Watson, Olivia Williams, Travis Fimmel, Johdi May, Mark Strong, Sarah-Sofie Boussnina, Josh Heuston, Chloe Lea, Jade Anouka, Faoileann Cunningham, Edward Davis, Aoife Hinds, Chris Mason, and Shalom Brune-Franklin. Variety has reported that Tabu and Jihae will also make appearances in the series. Initially titled Dune: The Sisterhood, the show underwent multiple changes in showrunners and underwent a creative reset in 2023.
