What is Dune: Prophecy about?

It’s set in the universe of Dune, created by acclaimed author Frank Herbert, and 10,000 years before the ascension of Paul Atreides. The new series 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. Dune: Prophecy is mainly inspired by the novel Sisterhood of Dune, written by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson.
