The fact that it has persisted for 10,000 years highlights its fundamental importance to Frank Herbert's universe.

Dune: Prophecy Episode 1 introduced us to its central character Valya Harkonnen. Here, we discuss the character and the actor portraying her.

Since its 2021 release, Dune has captivated audiences with its epic tales set on the spice-rich planet Arrakis. The movie—based on Frank Herbert’s best-selling Dune books—follows Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet) as he travels to the planet Arrakis in the hopes of bringing their beloved “spice” to his family's allies.

Part Two, the first TV series in the franchise takes us back over ten thousand years, following the inner workings of one of the most secretive yet powerful organisations in the universe: the Bene Gesserit.

Dune: Prophecy is centered around characters from House Harkonnen, but they don't look like Austin Butler's character from the Dune movies.
