[ NOTES ]

Dune: Prophecy - The Complete First Season (2024) is available on 4K UHD, Blu-ray, and DVD. The series - which is inspired by the novel "Sisterhood of Dune" by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson - plays out kinda like Game of Thrones. I found it captivating, if not a little drawn out at times.

Dune: Prophecy is set in the same universe as Dune: Part One (2021) and Dune: Part Two (2024). None of these new productions is related to Dune (1985), other than being based on the same source material.
