‘Dune: Prophecy’ got a new teaser on July 18, just a few months after ‘Dune: Part Two’s theatrical release.
The trailer features familiar Dune imagery like holographic shields, armored warriors, and robes similar to those worn by Reverend Mother Gaius Helen Mohiam (Charlotte Rampling). It also shows a character using the Voice.
A Harkonnen sister warns in the trailer:
“Sacrifices must be made.”
And another character says:
“The more influence our sisterhood gains, the more enemies we make.”

The Show is Based On ‘Sisterhood of Dune’
