‘Dune’ series: the ‘Game of Thrones’ actress is in the cast

According to information shared by Deadline, the next series in the “Dune” universe has received a new member for its cast. Actress Indira Varma was cast for the role of Empress Natalya in the spin-off.

Varma is known for playing other characters from major pop culture franchises, such as Ellaria Sand in “Game of Thrones” and Tala Durith in “Obi-Wan Kenobi”, a series from the “Star Wars” universe. She will also be the actress in the upcoming film “Mission: Impossible: Settlement Part 1”, the seventh feature film in the saga produced by Tom Cruise.

According to Variety’s text, Empress Natalya is described as a king, and her marriage to Emperor Corrino united thousands of worlds. So far, the series is tentatively titled “Dune: The Sisterhood”.

The spin-off plot will take place 10,000 years before the known events in “Dune” and is based on the novel “Brotherhood of Dune” by authors Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson. The series will tell the story of the Harkonnen sisters as they face the forces that threaten the future of humanity. In this context, the legendary Bene Gesserit sect will be formed.

As we saw in the movie “Dune”, Bene Gesserit are women with unusual abilities, with mental and physical powers and abilities. Lady Jessica Atreides (Rebecca Ferguson) is one of the members of the sect and her abilities can be seen in the son and protagonist of the story, Paul Atreides (Timothée Chalamet).

After the addition of Indira Varma, the cast of “Dune: The Sisterhood” has so far only two other confirmations: the actresses Emily Watson and Shirley Henderson, who will respectively play the protagonists Valya Harkonnen and Tula Harkonnen.

The production of “Dune: The Sisterhood” will be directed by Diane Ademu-John, who will write and show the series. Director Johan Renck will direct the first two episodes of the spin-off and is best known for directing the acclaimed “Chernobyl”.

“Dune: The Sisterhood” started its projects in 2019 and to date has no fixed release date. HBO Max recently announced that filming on the series is expected to begin in November in Budapest, the capital of Hungary.

Meanwhile, the film sequel has already begun production and its release date has been brought forward. “Dune: Part 2” will premiere on November 3, 2023.
