HBO’s upcoming Dune prequel series, Dune: Prophecy, is set 10,000 years before the events of the films. The show will revolve around the Sisterhood that grew in power over time to become the Bene Gesserit. But in the new trailer for the series, the Sisterhood’s very existence is threatened by a man whose only desire is to wipe them all out.

Vikings star Travis Fimmel appears in this series as Desmond Hart, the interloper who is whispering in the ear of Emperor Javicco Corrino (Mark Strong) that the Sisterhood is expanding their influence and represents a threat to his empire. Desmond’s not entirely wrong, and the leader of the Sisterhood, Valya Harkonnen (Emily Watson), can’t persuade him that she isn’t his enemy. If this is a war for the heart of the empire, then the Sisterhood is already on their backfoot while Desmond advances on them.

The trailer was unveiled at New York Comic Con, where the creative team and members of the cast teased what’s ahead on the series. Showrunner Alison Schapker even set the stage for the story by revealing that Dune: Prophecy takes place in the aftermath of humanity’s war against intelligent machines.

“We are in the shadow of the wars,” said Schapker. “Computers, thinking machines, have been outlawed. Does that mean they’re not floating around the universe in various ways, who knows? Humans have to strive to fill the voids of what used to be performed by technology. Now humans are coming to try and push the boundaries of what it means to be human.”

Dune: Prophecy will premiere on HBO and Max on November 17.
