Dune-universet er kendt for at tage fat på lidt tungere tematikker end eksempelvis Star Wars, og ikke dele sine karakterer op i etablerede arketyper. Netop det ønsker en af skuespillerne der medvirker i den kommende Dune: Prophecy tv-serie at sætte en tyk streg under.
I et interview med Total Film afslører skuespiller Emily Watson, at serien altså ikke bliver "som Star Wars":
"It was very exciting, but also very great to go into that world with the security of knowing I've got the skill set to make everything feel real. It's a very interesting palette because it's not childish... it's not like Star Wars. It has a moral complexity, which is interesting."
Serien har endnu ikke fået en premieredato, men du kan se traileren herunder.
