The Bene Gesseritt in "Dune Prophecy"
Watch Next

If Lady Jessica (Rebecca Ferguson) and the Bene Gesserit are your favorite parts of Dune, then chances are Dune: Prophecy will be right up your alley.

The prequel series, coming November to HBO and Max, is set 10,000 years before the rise of Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet). But that doesn't mean we won't hear some familiar names! The second teaser for Dune: Prophecy centers on Valya Harkonnen (Emily Watson), a long-ago ancestor to Dune's Baron (Stellan Skarsgård), Rabban (Dave Bautista), and Feyd-Rautha (Austin Butler) — and a founder of the Bene Gesserit.

As Valya states in voiceover, the Bene Gesserit will serve the Great Houses of the Imperium. But in order to gain that power, Sisters must first exert total power over themselves and their bodies. That includes mastering the legendary Voice, which we get a very quick glimpse of in the teaser, along with new planets, promises of political intrigue, and even from Fremen-blue eyes. Might we see what Arrakis was like 10,000 years before the events of Dune?

Dune: Prophecy premieres November on HBO and Max.
