American premium cable network HBO has given a second season order for "Dune: Prophecy", the prequel series to Denis Villeneuve&rsquo;s blockbuster &ldquo;Dune&rdquo; movies.
Also featuring Bollywood star Tabu in a pivotal role, the six-episode series is set 10,000 years before the events of Frank Herbert&rsquo;s seminal novel &ldquo;Dune&rdquo;, which was recently adapted by Villeneuve in two parts.
The show's renewal for season two comes ahead of the premiere of the final episode, which will air on HBO on December 22. The show streams on JioCinema in India.
"'Dune: Prophecy' has captivated audiences around the globe thanks to the visionary leadership of showrunner and executive producer Alison Schapker, who will continue to guide this grand tale of truth and power.
"We are incredibly grateful to our partners at Legendary and to our extraordinary cast and crew for their service to the Imperium. We&rsquo;re excited to collaborate with this team again to see what they have in store," Sarah Aubrey, Head of Max Original Programming, said in a statement.
&ldquo;Dune: Prophecy&rdquo; promises a rich narrative filled with intrigue and power struggles within the &ldquo;Dune&rdquo; universe.
The show features an ensemble cast of Emily Watson, Olivia Williams, Travis Fimmel, Jodhi May, Mark Strong, Sarah-Sofie Boussnina, Josh Heuston, Chloe Lea, Jade Anouka, Faoileann Cunningham, Edward Davis, Aoife Hinds, Chris Mason, Shalom Brune-Franklin, Camilla Beeput, Jihae, Charithra Chandran, Jessica Barden, Emma Canning, and Yerin Ha.
As per official logline, the show 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.
&ldquo;Dune: Prophecy&rdquo; is based on the novel &rdquo;Sisterhood of Dune&rdquo; by Brian Herbert and Kevin J Anderson.
In the show, Tabu plays the role of Sister Francesca, described as a &rdquo;strong, intelligent, and alluring&rdquo; character, who leaves a lasting impression in her wake.
&ldquo;Once a great love of the Emperor, her return to the palace strains the balance of power in the capital,&rdquo; the character description read.
Alison Schapker is the showrunner and executive producer with Diane Ademu-John, who co-developed the series. It is co-produced by HBO and Legendary Television.

<h2>Tabu's brief appearance in the teaser has sparked considerable discussion among fans about her character&rsquo;s role and potential impact on the storyline.</h2>

The second teaser for the web series &lsquo;Dune: Prophecy&rsquo; was released on July 18. The 1-minute-10-second teaser of the HBO original, which expands on the &lsquo;Dune&rsquo; films, offered a tantalizing glimpse of the acclaimed actor Tabu as Sister Francesca reigniting excitement.
She is dressed in black, with a cape on her back, standing with her arms folded and staring directly into the camera. Although her character has no dialogue in the teaser, her costume exudes a sense of power. It remains to be seen if future promotional materials will reveal more about her role in the ongoing power struggle within the Imperium.
&nbsp;In May, a Variety report described Tabu&rsquo;s character as &lsquo;strong, intelligent, and alluring.&rsquo;
<h3>About the teaser</h3>
The new teaser opens with a voiceover from senior Sisters instructing newcomers on the necessity of mastering self-control before attempting to influence the Great Houses. They stress the importance of their influence and warn that with increased power come more enemies. As the Queen warns the emperor about the sisterhood&rsquo;s growing strength, the Bene Gesserit remain steadfast in their mission to solidify their hold on power. Valya declares, &lsquo;Sacrifices must be made&rsquo; to protect the Imperium.
Tabu makes a blink-and-miss appearance in the teaser as Sister Francesca, once a great love of the Emperor.
<h3>More about the series</h3>
&lsquo;Dune: Prophecy,&rsquo; set 10,000 years before the rise of Paul Atreides, delves into the deep origins of Frank Herbert&rsquo;s universe. The series centres on the Harkonnen sisters, Valya and Tula, portrayed by Emily Watson and Olivia Williams. These formidable women are determined to safeguard humanity and establish the Bene Gesserit, a powerful all-female order known for their extraordinary abilities.

The creators of 'Dune: Prophecy' released the first teaser trailer for the eagerly awaited prequel series on May 15. Premiering on HBO Max this fall, the six-episode series is yet to announce its official premiere date.
Originally titled 'Dune: The Sisterhood' when commissioned in 2019, the series is inspired by the novel 'Sisterhood of Dune' by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson.

A fan on X (formerly Twitter) speculated, &lsquo;But no Tabu. Gonna assume her role is either very important that they don&rsquo;t want to show or it&rsquo;s a small role. Nonetheless with or without her, I was always excited for anything related to my latest favourite child and that&rsquo;s DUNE.&rsquo;
Another wrote, &lsquo;do not get the Dune Vibes. Maybe because the distinct Dennis Style has become synonymous with Dune. Still hopeful tho. Excited for Tabu.&rsquo;
A few fans were convinced that they spotted Tabu, with one fan sharing the screengrab which shows a veiled character, while another shared just a shot of a bare back.
<h3>About &lsquo;Dune: Prophecy&rsquo;</h3>

Kriti Sanon on working with Tabu, Kareena Kapoor in ‘The Crew’: 'Getting to work with women who I admire'

Kriti Sanon recalled how filmmaker Shoojit Sircar told her that she has an acting bug in her, and she must must explore it.

Kriti Sanon opened up about teaming up with actors Tabu and Kareena Kapoor for her upcoming film &lsquo;The Crew&rsquo;. She also revealed how she got into the industry.&nbsp;

Kriti Sanon is excited about teaming up with actors Tabu and Kareena Kapoor for her upcoming film &lsquo;The Crew&rsquo;. In an interview with indianexpress.com, Kriti said, &lsquo;It is a quirky fun film. It has got a lot to do with the camaraderie of these three women. It is very well written; it is very funny and has a thrill element to it as well. Obviously because Rhea is attached to it, it is going to look very good. Rajesh&rsquo;s Lootcase was so fresh and funny. I am looking forward to finally getting to work with women who I have admired as actors, just play off them and have a good time. I will start the film by March end.&rsquo;
Kriti, who has been in the industry for almost a decade, said that it&rsquo;s &lsquo;unbelievable&rsquo; as acting was far from her mind while growing up in Delhi.
She said, &lsquo;I was more into dancing earlier and was doing BTech. Someone told me I should do modelling because I have the height and face. So I did it more as a hobby. But it was only when I did TV commercials that I faced a moving camera and I really enjoyed it. I felt I could emote, that it was tapping into a creative side of mine. I was not conscious in front of the camera at all.&rsquo;
Recalling how she entered the entertainment industry, she said, &lsquo;I remember Shoojit Sircar had shot an ad with me! He told me, &lsquo;You have that acting bug in you, you must explore it, do some workshop&rsquo;. That&rsquo;s when I started dreaming about being an actor. Then I moved to Mumbai, started giving auditions. I also enrolled in a private workshop for a bit, but I was just improving with every audition, there was no other way. Now when I look back at, it feels surreal that I have come this far.&rsquo;
&lsquo;The Crew&rsquo;, directed by Rajesh Krishnan, is a story of three women who struggle to keep up with life as there are a few unexpected and unwarranted situations, leading them to get caught in a web of lies.

Abhishek Pathak opened up about the journey and the film&rsquo;s cultural impact on the Hindi-speaking audience

&lsquo;Drishyam 2&rsquo;, starring Ajay Devgn, Tabu, and Shriya Saran, received the second biggest opening for Bollywood this year. The film earned ₹65 crore across India in its first three days, surpassing the opening weekend collections of all Hindi films except &lsquo;Brahmastra&rsquo;. Director Abhishek Pathak opened up about the journey and the film&rsquo;s cultural impact on the Hindi-speaking audience.
According to Hindustan Times, Abhishek said that the sequel of &lsquo;Drishyam&rsquo; was planned even before Malayalam &lsquo;Drishyam 2&rsquo; was released. He said that before the film came out on OTT, they had bought the rights to it.
&lsquo;We saw the film and loved it. By November 2020, we got the rights and then we started developing it,&rsquo; he said. He further said that there is no point in making a frame-to-frame remake because as a director one has to bring their vision to the table. He said if it&rsquo;s a copy, people will talk about that aspect and reduce your audience.
For the unversed, &lsquo;Drishyam&rsquo; is the remake of the Malayalam film of the same name. However, the filmmaker agrees that changes need to be planned carefully so as to avoid ruining the essence of the original.
&lsquo;When you start rewriting something, you always mark out things you don&rsquo;t want to touch. The idea is to not damage it. See, we got the rights to something we loved and there&rsquo;s no point changing that. We have to stick to the soul of the film, including the twist and turns. But the screenplay can change. Malayalam films are a little different as compared to Hindi films. The audiences are different as well. So we need that change. So yes, changing the screenplay of a remake is important but you have to be careful,&rsquo; he said.
Abhishek also talked about how many believe that the popularity of the Ajay Devgn-starrer Hindi version has surpassed the Malayalam original, which starred Mohanlal.
The director said that every year on October 2, there are memes about Vijay Salgaonkar and his family. It&rsquo;s fun. He added that Mohanlal sir is a great actor, a very established actor but the Hindi audiences relate &lsquo;Drishyam&rsquo; somewhere more with Vijay Salgaonkar and Ajay Devgn.
&lsquo;And even though the Malayalam sequel was out, many people didn&rsquo;t watch it as they wanted to see the Hindi version first. That is because they relate so much with Ajay sir. The Malayalam Drishyam is a brilliant film but they somewhere chose to hold on till the Hindi version was released,&rsquo; Hindustan Times quoted Abhishek as saying.
