Los Angeles Actor Tabu has joined the cast of “Dune: Prophecy,” a prequel series to filmmaker Denis Villeneuve’s massively successful film trilogy, following the success of his heist comedy “Crew.”
Sister Francesca, a “strong, intelligent, and alluring” heroine, will be Tabu’s recurrent part.
“Sister Francesca leaves a significant legacy behind her. Her return to the palace upsets the delicate balance of power in the city, according to the creators. She was once the Emperor’s great love.
Reverend Mother Mohiam, the Emperor’s Bene Gesserit Truthsayer, was portrayed by Charlotte Rampling in director Villeneuve’s 2021 and 2024 movie adaptations of Frank Herbert’s “Dune” books.
Played by Timothee Chalamet, Lady Jessica was the mother of the main character Paul Atreides, a Bene Gesserit.
The HBO Max series “Dune: Prophecy,” produced by Legendary Television, is based on the novel “Sisterhood of Dune” by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson and takes place 10,000 years before the events of Frank Herbert’s “Dune.” It was called “Dune: The Sisterhood” before.
According to the official trailer, “Set within the expansive universe of ‘Dune,’ created by acclaimed author Frank Herbert, and 10,000 years before the ascension of Paul Atreides, ‘Dune: Prophecy’ follows two Harkonnen sisters as they combat forces that threaten the future of humankind, and establish the fabled sect that will become known as the Bene Gesserit.”
Prior to this, Tabu participated in international productions as BBC miniseries “A Suitable Boy,” “The Namesake,” and “Life of Pi.” The National Award winner has a number of credits at home, including “Andhadhun,” “Maqbool,” “Haider,” “Bhool Bhulaiyya 2,” and “Drishyam.”
“Dune: Prophecy” also stars Emily Watson, Olivia Williams, Mark Strong, Sarah-Sofie Boussnina, and Shalom Brune-Franklin; the debut date has not yet been announced by the producers.
Along with Diane Ademu-John, who co-developed the series, Alison Schapker holds the roles of executive producer and showrunner. In addition, Anna Foerster, who directed several episodes, including the first, is connected as executive producer.
Together, Villeneuve’s two “Dune” films have brought in over USD 1.1 billion, and a third is now under development.
