If you feel like HBO has been planning the rollout for Dune: Prophecy in centuries, you’re not too far off. The series was greenlit all the way back in 2019, and we’ve been conserving every last drop of information about the series since. But the wait is almost over; HBO shared the first trailer today during their panel at New York Comic Con, and finally, officially dated the series’ premiere: November 17, airing linearly on HBO and streaming on Max. The first season will have six episodes.
This new trailer feels similarly epic in scale to the recent films, if without the Denis Villeneuve fingerprints. Set 10,000 years before the events of Dune, showrunner Alison Shepke described the setting as “a time of great rebuilding” during her NYCC appearance. There are new schools of thought arising, one of which is the Bene Gesserit, which will be the focus of the series.
