A new trailer has been released for the upcoming HBO series 'Dune: Prophecy,' starring Emma Watson as Valya Harkonnen. The series, set 10,000 years before the events of the original 'Dune' films, follows two Harkonnen sisters as they navigate a complex world and establish the Bene Gesserit order.
in November 2024. Watson is playing Valya Harkonnen in the prequel series, which also stars Olivia Williams as Tula Harkonnen, Jodhi May as Empress Natalya, Mark Strong as Emperor Javicco Corrino, and more., Watson discussed what fans can expect from Dune: Prophecy and how it has a certain kind of “moral complexity” she finds interesting.
“It was very exciting, but also very great to go into that world with the security of knowing I’ve got the skill set to make everything feel real,” Watson said. “It’s a very interesting palette because it’s not childish… it’s not like Star Wars. It has a moral complexity, which is interesting.
Watson further said that the Harkonnens are “very recognizably human and complicated” and “less extreme” compared to their portrayal in Dune and Dune: Part Two, though she noted they’re also still “a bit of a f***ed-up family.” She added, “ is built around the Bene Gesserit order. That’s the sisterhood. That’s one of the central characters in it, and all the universes that they control, and their power… it’s kind of fascinating.”Brandon Schreur has been writing about comics, movies, television shows, and all things pop culture for roughly five years.
