‘Dune: Prophecy’ has a high caliber ensemble with fresh promising actors. – Review
The new HBO Original Series Dune: Prophecy is a prequel from Frank Herbert’s 1965 novel Dune. However, the series is based on the 2012 novel Sisterhood of Dune by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson. which centers around the Sisterhood – the origins of the Bene Gesserit that is set 10,000 years before the birth of Paul Atreides.
Episode 1: The Hidden Hand is a sci-fi fantasy drama with amazing special effects and fascinating scenery. The episode introduces Valya Harkonnen (Emily Watson), and how she becomes the leader of the Sisterhood. Valya trains young women as truthsayers by putting them through rigorous physical and mental conditioning to develop supernatural abilities. They believe the tools to survive is strength – the power of humanity and lies – human’s greatest weapon. Valya also has a sister, Tula Harkonnen (Olivia Williams), who is the Reverend Mother. A power struggle emerges between the sisters. Tula uses power to guide, but Valya uses it to rule.

Meanwhile, Emperor Javicco Corrino (Mark Strong) is entrusted to govern peacefulness in the Imperium, but is faced with his own struggles to maintain power and control by reluctantly deciding to allow the young son (literally a kid) of Duke Ferdinand Richese (Brendan Cowell) to marry his daughter Princess Ynez (Sarah-Sofie Boussnina) to secure an alliance for when she becomes successor to the Golden Lion Throne. Matters intensify with Princess Ynez being influenced by her egocentric brother Constantine Corrino (Josh Heuston) and her lust for control over the Swordmaster Kieran Atreides. Throughout the turmoil, a mysterious solider Desmond Hart (Travis Fimmel) eases his way into the Imperium with the intention to gain Emperor Javicco Corrino’s trust.


It was truly exciting to watch the preview of the first episode Dune: Prophecy on the big screen. Showrunner Alison Schapker is known to emphasize the cinematic visual effects of the imaginative sci-fi world to the screen as evidenced in TV series Lost, The Flash, to critically acclaimed HBO’s series Westworld, and now Dune: Prophecy. Going with a high caliber ensemble accompanied by fresh promising actors will appeal to broader audiences due to the variety of characters and trajectory storyline. Viewers will definitely relate to the premise of the Sisterhood against “thinking machines” (AI technology) to preserve the power of humanity. Dune: Prophecy is scheduled to premiere on HBO Max on November 17, 2024.

The Night Agent: The most watched streamed series is back for season 2 on Netflix
In the end of season 1 of The Night Agent, POTUS offers to put Peter on the other end of the phone and promotes him to night action agent. Peter will now be part of The Night Action program, which runs deeper than what he could imagine. At the air base, Peter bids farewell to Rose, and promises to call her, and tells her when he does call, she better pick up. Aboard the Air Force jet, Peter is seen unlocking a tablet with facial recognition, then the screen displays “Night Action Mission Brief” with “Top Secret” noted on the bottom.
Season 2 of The Night Agent looks promising. It will feature new locations, new characters, mystery plots and exhilarating combat scenes, with high voltage pursuits.
I had the exciting opportunity to attend a preview screening of the first episode of the much anticipated season 2 of Netflix original series The Night Agent. Lead actor Gabriel Basso, who plays FBI Agent Peter Sutherland, did the honor of doing an in person introduction of the first episode on the upcoming season. He mentioned that Thailand is the starting point of the first episode with Peter’s new operation as a night action agent, and his partner Alice (Brittany Snow). There will be a lot of unexpected twists – a possible compromised Night Action, another mole, and innovative secret weapons. The action sequence follows Peter to New York City and Washington, D.C. Basso also commented that he does the majority of the action stunts, which the audience agrees it adds authenticity to The Night Agent series.
Rose Larkin (Luciane Buchanan) will also have a key role in the second season. She tries to settle back into the cyber tech world, but has difficulty dealing with post-traumatic stress from the assassination of her aunt and uncle, who were counterintelligence night agents, and the events that led up to her life being placed in jeopardy. However, in the turn of events, it is now Rose that gets the call from Peter. Will Rose still be a trustworthy ally?
The Night Agent season 2 will be streaming on Netflix starting on January 23, 2025.
Gabriel Basso took questions from the members of the audience – Will there be a season 3? Where did the filming take place? And, my question – Would he consider becoming an (FBI) agent? See his response here:
