In the latest teaser, Emily Watson's leader Valya Harkonnen explains the Sisterhood, though they come under threat from Travis Fimmel's charismatic soldier Desmond Hart.

"We are in the right direction," he added. "There's a lot of work that has been done, but there's a lot of work that needs to be done in order to have something solid to shoot."
Legendary Entertainment CEO Josh Grode added: "I think everybody is very excited and really enjoying this moment, and if Denis gets the script right and he feels that he can deliver another experience on par with what we've just completed, then I don't see why not.
"We have to have all creative stakeholders aligned and support the vision."
Dune: Prophecy will premiere on Max in the US on November 17 and Sky and NOW in the UK on November 18.
