In simpler terms, Dune: The Sisterhood will occur at a point in history when the Spice isn’t flowing, and the familiar political machinations from the “present” of Dune are in flux.īecause of this massive time gap, it seems possible - and probable - that Dune: The Sisterhood will explore how the Bene Gesserit planted mythological seeds on Arrakis, which 10,000 years later enabled Paul to become a faux-messiah, ride some sandworms, and start a revolution. If the show follows this timeline, that puts it exactly 10,196 years before Dune Part 1. The novel Dune: The Sisterhood takes place in 5 BG, putting it in the middle of a galactic conflict about a century after the Butlerian Jihad outlaws all AI. If you match the BG years to our calendar, that would put the Jihad about 10,950 years in our future, putting the beginning of Dune about 20,000 years from now. In the Dune timeline, the spacing guild forms roughly a century after the Butlerian Jihad, a massive conflict fought from 201 to 108 BG (“before guild”) in which humans revolted against machines.

In the chronology of Dune, the movie is set in 10191 AG.ĪG refers to “after guild,” meaning after the spacing guild is created.

Except the two Harkonnens to have very different worldviews. Shirley Henderson will play Tula Harkonnen. While they exist in the distant backstory of Dune, the characters are fairly new creations. Neither of the leads in The Sisterhood come from Frank Herbert’s six books.

This means that while the new HBO Max series is drawing upon info about the Bene Gesserit sisterhood from the original 1965 novel, it’s mostly relying on Dune expanded universe ideas from the past decade. Valya and Tula Harkonnen also appear in two more prequel books, Mentats of Dune (2014) and Navigators of Dune (2016).

That said, chances are we can expect these two sisters to have very different views on House Atreides.Īlthough this TV series is a prequel to Dune Part 1, it’s based on a 2012 prequel novel written by Brian Herbert (Frank Herbert’s son) and Kevin J. And because Dune: The Sisterhood takes place at least 10,000 years before Dune, the Harkonnens here are likely not the Harkonnens we know. The Harkonnens have been around for a long time. Although this isn’t revealed in the 2021 film Dune Part 1, Paul Atreides’ (Timothée Chalamet) maternal grandfather is actually the wicked Baron Harkonnen (Stellan Skarsgård). However, as the Dune novels reveal, the Bene Gesserit sisterhood secretly crossbred the Harkonnen and Atreides bloodlines for generations.
Because both of their characters have the last name Harkonnen, you might assume these characters are villains. Variety and Deadline have confirmed that actresses Emily Watson and Shirley Henderson play the leads in Dune: The Sisterhood.
