Dune: Prophecy | New Final Trailer | Max

These comments seemingly confirm that Dune: Prophecy is more than just a spin-off project to complement the movies, but is intended to be a cornerstone of the Dune franchise that will hopefully carry the same scale and narrative ambition. Goldberg's comments regarding the support from the studios to make the series "surprising, propulsive, and visually breathtaking" point to a production scale that matches the magnitude of Villenueve's films. It also suggests that Dune: Prophecy is being created with the same level of care and ambition that the original films are famous for.

The fact that the story is focused on the early days of the Sisterhood opens plenty of exciting possibilities for the show. The Bene Gesserit are notorious for their "plans within plans", and the writers seem to be embracing this mentality by crafting a narrative that is meant to unfold slowly and across multiple seasons. This long-term format of storytelling allows the show space and time to properly examine not only the origins of the order but also the political and societal structures that shaped Villenueve's Dune universe over millennia.
