The series Dune: The Sisterhood is directed by two-time Emmy winner Johan Renck and features a number of stars.
“On this day, we commence filming Dune: The Sisterhood for HBO Max. Through machinations taking place millennia before the story you all know, we descend into the coven that one day shall be named the Bene Gesserit,” wrote Johan Renck on his Instagram page, who directed episodes of the Chernobyl, Breaking Bad, and Bloodline series.
Set 10,000 years before the ascension of Paul Atreides, the series follows the Harkonnen Sisters as they battle the forces threatening the future of humankind and found the sect known as the Bene Gesserit. The drama is adapted from the novel Sisterhood Of Dune, written by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson.
The series will star Emily Watson, Shirley Henderson, Indira Varma, Travis Fimmel, Sarah-Sofie Boussnina, Shalom Brune-Franklin, Faoileann Cunningham, Aoife Hinds, and Chloe Lea.
