Valya Harkonnen (Emily Watson) declares, “I run a school for young women. We’re not a threat to anyone,” in the full trailer for HBO’s Dune: Prophecy. The trailer debuted during HBO’s panel at the 2024 New York Comic Con, followed by its release online.

“From the expansive universe of Dune, created by acclaimed author Frank Herbert, and 10,000 years before the ascension of Paul Atreides, Dune: Prophecy follows two Harkonnen sisters as they combat forces that threaten the future of humankind, and establish the fabled sect that will become known as the Bene Gesserit,” reads HBO’s official synopsis.
