DUNE: PROPHECY editors Anna Hauger ACE, Mark Hartzell ACE, Amelia Allwarden ACE and Sarah C. Reeves ACE joined the new HBO Original Series having plenty of experience with big "IP" shows like WESTWORLD and LOST IN SPACE, but with the recent success of Denis Villeneueve's films, the expectations for their DUNE prequel series would be bigger than anything they've experienced before. DUNE: PROPHECY is a six-part series that just wrapped its first season on MAX and is a prequel to the Dune films. Taking place 10,000 years prior to the Paul Atreides story line of the movies, it focuses on the origins of the Bene Gesserit, a powerful social, religious, and political force whose members possess superhuman powers and abilities after undergoing years of intense physical and mental conditioning.
