Emily Watson under a veil as Valya Harkonnen in Dune: Prophecy
This article is part of a directory: Dune: Prophecy - Cast, Story, Trailer & Everything We Know About The Dune TV Spinoff PreviousThe Harkonnens Are Different In Dune: Prophecy To The"Extreme" Take In Denis Villeneuve's Movies Dune: Prophecy showrunner Alison Schapker offers clarity regarding the show's multiple timelines. Based on the world created by Frank Herbert, Dune: Prophecy takes place 10,000 years before the events of Dune and the story of Paul Atreides .
“I really believe that we found the best of both worlds when it comes to adaptation. Sisterhood of Dune was our seminal text that we were working with and drawing inspiration from. Our story is tethered to the events in that book, but we also are telling a story that takes place 30 years after the events of the book. So we have both the book to draw from, but we also have room to develop our characters and tell the story of Valya Harkonnen across multiple timelines.
What Dune: Prophecy's Multiple Timelines Mean For The Show Why More Than One Timeline Is Befitting A Story About The Bene Gesserit Close Time has always been approached in a unique way in the Dune franchise, particularly through the Bene Gesserit. This mysterious group essentially guides humanity toward favorable evolution and a better future. This means the Bene Gesserit sometimes make decisions that don't make sense to those around them who aren't part of the Sisterhood.
Our Take On Dune: Prophecy's Multiple Timelines The HBO Series Needs To Feel Distinct From Denis Villeneuve's Dune Movies While telling a multiple-timeline story wouldn't have made sense for Paul's arc, Dune: Prophecy now has a chance to set itself apart from Villeneuve's films, leaning into some of the idiosyncrasies in the franchise's novels.
