What Is Dune: Prophecy About?

Dune: Prophecy is a prequel series set around 10,000 years before the events of Dune, roughly 80 years after humans defeated the thinking machines in the Butlerian Jihad.

The core story:

Follows Valya and Tula Harkonnen, two sisters trying to protect and expand the power of the early Sisterhood.
Shows how their order evolves into the legendary Bene Gesserit, a religious, political and social force with extreme mental and physical training.
Weaves palace intrigue around the Imperial House Corrino, the Great Houses and the early roots of both Harkonnen and Atreides families.
Explores themes of prophecy, control, eugenics, power and religious myth-making in the Dune universe.

Visually and tonally, it sits closer to HBO political dramas (lots of plotting, councils and betrayals) than to pure action, though there are set-pieces and battles too. Reviews describe it as “addictively perilous palace intrigue” anchored by strong performances from Emily Watson and Olivia Williams.

If you want a lore-rich, Bene Gesserit-focused show rather than more sandworm action on Arrakis, this is exactly that.

How Many Seasons and Episodes Does It Have?

Right now, for UAE viewers on OSN+:

Season 1:
- 6 episodes, each around 58–80 minutes
- All available to stream on OSN+ in HDR
Season 2:
- Officially renewed by HBO and currently in production, with 8 episodes planned (up from six)
- Filming is underway in Hungary, Jordan and Spain, but no release window yet.

For now, you can binge all of Season 1 on OSN+ in the UAE, and expect Season 2 to arrive there once it airs on HBO/Max.

How Does Dune: Prophecy Connect to the Dune Films and Books?

A quick placement for Dune fans:

It is a prequel to Denis Villeneuve’s films Dune and Dune: Part Two, set millennia earlier in the same universe.
It draws on, but is set after, the Great Schools of Dune novel trilogy by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson.
Focuses on the origins of the Bene Gesserit and reshapes how you see them later in Paul Atreides’ era.
Adds history and nuance to the Harkonnens and Corrino Empire, who are usually framed only as villains or background in the main saga.

You don’t need to have read the books, but having watched Dune and Dune: Part Two on OSN+ will make the political and religious threads land harder — and OSN+ even surfaces Dune: Part Two as a “More like this” recommendation right on the series page.

Should You Watch Dune: Prophecy?

Here’s a quick way to decide if Dune: Prophecy belongs on your watchlist in the UAE — and how it sits next to your other picks from the What to Watch This Week UAE hub.

Watch it if…

You loved Villeneuve’s Dune films and want more lore about the Bene Gesserit and the big political powers behind the scenes.
You enjoy slow-burn sci-fi with palace intrigue, secret orders and long-term plans rather than constant action.
You’re curious about Harkonnen history and like morally grey characters, not simple heroes and villains.
You already subscribe to OSN+ for shows like House of the Dragon or The Last of Us and want another prestige HBO series to dive into.
You like series that feel big-budget and cinematic but you can still watch weeknights in 60–70 minute chunks.

Skip it if…

You mainly want Arrakis, Fremen and sandworm battles — this is more about Sisterhood politics than spice wars.
You prefer straightforward space action and find dense lore, prophecies and religious politics a bit heavy.
You’re new to the Dune universe and want a starting point — you may be better off watching Dune and Dune: Part Two on OSN+ first, then coming back.

You’re in the mood for something lighter or more stand-alone; in that case, browse New on Netflix UAE or New on Disney+ UAE for comfort picks instead.
