Dune: The Sisterhood Cast Expands With 5 Series Regulars

The upcoming Dune prequel series, Dune: The Sisterhood, continues to grow its cast. Variety is reporting that five new cast members have been added to the series as regulars.

According to Variety, Boussnina (Knightfall) will play Princess Ynez, who is described as “an independent young princess dealing with the pressures of her responsibility as heir to the Golden Lion Throne.” Brune-Franklin (The Tourist) will play Mikaela, “a strong-willed Fremen woman who serves the royal family while longing for a home planet she’s never known.” Cunningham (The Northman) will play Sister Jen, “a fierce, unpredictable acolyte in training at the Sisterhood School who rarely reveals her emotional core.”

Hinds (Derry Girls) plays Sister Emeline, “a zealous acolyte descended from a long line of martyrs, who carries fervent religion to her training at the Sisterhood.” Lea (Foundation) plays Lila, “the youngest acolyte at the Sisterhood School with a deep empathy beyond her years.”

Dune: The Sisterhood will be set in the universe of Frank Herbert’s epic Dune novel series and take place 10,000 years prior to the events of the original Dune book. The series is told through the eyes of a mysterious order of women known as the Bene Gesserit. Armed with extraordinary abilities, this group of women weaves through the feudal politics of Dune, pursuing their own plans that ultimately lead them to the enigmatic planet Arrakis and the events of Denis Villeneuve’s Dune adaptation.
