The last to fall is ‘Dune’, which will premiere its prequel on HBO Max, ‘The sisterhood’, although there is still no release date on the horizon.

‘The sisterhood’ will take place 10,000 years before ‘Dune’ and will focus on the Harkonnen sisters, who fight against the threats that endanger humanity. Furthermore, the series will tell us about the origins of the Bene Gesseritthe order of powerful women with supernatural abilities that we already met in the movie.

It should be remembered that ‘Dune: part 2’ will be released on November 3, 2023 again directed by Denis Villeneuve, who has already said that if it were up to him, he would make a third part titled ‘Dune Messiah’. Come on, the saga is more alive than ever and with no sandworms in sight.
