The latest Dune development has sent fans into a frenzy, seeing actress Tabu in the latest one-minute teaser for the eagerly awaited prequel series, Dune: Prophecy. The prequel series begins with the founding members of the Bene Gesserit as their influence over the Great Houses grows. Set 10,000 years before Paul Atreides' ascent, this series explores the origins of the Dune universe. In her Hollywood debut, Tabu portrays Sister Francesca, characterised as “strong, intelligent, and alluring.” According to the official synopsis, Sister Francesca was once a great love of the emperor, and her return to the palace strains the balance of power in the capital.

As the short teaser dropped on YouTube, fans did not hold back from gushing over Tabu, who appears 45 seconds into the short clip.

Along with Tabu, Dune: Prophecy also features Emily Watson, Olivia Williams, and Travis Fimmel. The show is set to release in November this year, comprising six episodes in the first season. Upon landing the role of Sister Francesca in the series, Tabu had earlier shared her excitement and stated, “I am thrilled to be a part of the massive global franchise, Dune: Prophecy, and to be working with some of the most brilliant creators, actors, and crew in the industry.”
