Tabu appears in the second teaser of the HBO Max series ‘Dune: Prophecy’.
Tabu Hollywood Debut: The second teaser for HBO Max’s “Dune: Prophecy,” a prequel series to Denis Villeneuve’s blockbuster “Dune” films, has revealed a first glimpse at Bollywood star Tabu, who plays Sister Francesca. The Warner Bros Discovery-owned streaming service posted the second teaser on Thursday evening, revealing that the six-episode series will air in November of this year.
Tabu, known internationally for films like as “The Namesake” and “Life of Pi,” as well as the BBC miniseries “A Suitable Boy,” makes a brief appearance near the end of the teaser clip. Sister Francesca is described as a “strong, intelligent, and alluring” character who leaves an indelible impression in her wake. “Once a great love of the Emperor, her return to the palace strains the balance of power in the capital,” according to the filmmakers. The series takes place 10,000 years before the events of Frank Herbert’s landmark novel Dune, which Villeneuve recently adapted in two parts.
“Dune: Prophecy,” based on the novel “Sisterhood of Dune” by Brian Herbert and Kevin J Anderson, was previously known as “Dune: The Sisterhood.” According to the official logline, the show follows two Harkonnen sisters as they confront forces threatening humanity’s future and establish the famous sect known as the Bene Gesserit.
“Dune: Prophecy” also features Emily Watson, Olivia Williams, Mark Strong, Sarah-Sofie Boussnina, Jessica Barden, and Shalom Brune-Franklin. Alison Schapker is the showrunner and executive producer, while Diane Ademu-John co-developed the project. HBO and Legendary Television collaborated on its production.
