Dune: Prophecy (Seasons 1–2)

Dune: Prophecy (2024) is HBO's science-fiction series you can watch online on iFILM. The story unfolds ten thousand years before Paul Atreides is born, when sisters Valya and Tula Harkonnen are only beginning to shape the order that history will remember.

Emily Watson and Olivia Williams lead the cast as two women whose choices will steer an empire for millennia. Their secret sisterhood plants its influence inside the royal courts and starts a breeding program aimed at producing a being who can see what is coming. The Harkonnen past, though, hides things that could tear it all down. Travis Fimmel plays soldier Desmond Hart, and Mark Strong appears as the embattled Emperor Javicco Corrino.

The show grows out of Frank Herbert's universe and expands the Bene Gesserit thread that the novels only sketch. Cold palace halls, court politics, genetics weaponized as strategy — power here is taken with knowledge, not a blade. Stream Dune: Prophecy (2024) online on iFILM.
