‘Dune: Prophecy’ Sets November Release Date at HBO

“Dune: Prophecy,” the highly anticipated prequel series to Denis Villeneuve’s expansive sci-fi trilogy, finally set a release date Thursday.

The six-episode HBO project will drop its first episode on Nov. 17 at 9 p.m. ET/PT, the “Dune” panel announced out of New York Comic Con. Taking over the Warner Bros. Discovery network’s sought-after Sunday night time slot, new episodes will then air on subsequent Sundays.

“From 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,” HBO’s official synopsis reads.
