Tabu’s character of Sister Francesca draws from Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson's novel, ‘Sisterhood of Dune.’ Her character is depicted as strong, intelligent, and captivating. The narrative follows Francesca as she awakens and returns to the Palace, where she once held the Emperor's favor. Her return unsettles the political equilibrium and leads to a tale filled with resilience and human emotions.

Set in the vast universe of Dune, originally conceived by author Frank Herbert, ‘Dune: Prophecy’ revolves around the journey of two Harkonnen sisters. They face dreadful adversaries that threaten humanity's future and work towards founding the sect- Bene Gesserit.

‘Dune: Prophecy’ will also star Mark Strong, Sarah-Sofie Boussnina, Josh Heuston, Chloe Lea, Jade Anouka, Faoileann Cunningham, Edward Davis, Aoife Hinds, Chris Mason, and Shalom Brune-Franklin in important roles.
