The highly anticipated prequel series, Dune: Prophecy, offers viewers a glimpse into the intricate drama that unfolds thousands of years before the rise of Paul Atreides. The recently released trailer showcases a visually stunning world set approximately 10,000 years prior to the events of the original Dune films.

Featuring a talented ensemble cast including Travis Fimmel, Jodhi May, and Mark Strong, Dune: Prophecy promises to immerse audiences in a world filled with political intrigue, ancient rivalries, and supernatural powers.
