As Emily Watson’s Valya Harkonnen takes the spotlight, fans eagerly engaged in decoding the video, hoping to catch a glimpse of Tabu.

Dune: Prophecy teaser

The official description of the series sets the stage, “10,000 years before the ascension of Paul Atreides, Dune: Prophecy follows two Harkonnen sisters as they combat forces that threaten the future of humankind and establish the fabled sect that will become known as the Bene Gesserit.” In the teaser, we see the origins of Bene Geserrit as they begin wielding their influence through the Imperium, led by Valya.

Fans look for Tabu

While the 1-minute-34-seconds teaser gave glimpses of various characters, it’s difficult to know if Tabu was among them. “But no Tabu. Gonna assume her role is either very important that they don’t want to show or it’s a small role. Nonetheless with or without her, I was always excited for anything related to my latest favourite child and that’s DUNE,” wrote a fan, reacting to the teaser on X (formerly Twitter).

Another wrote, “do not get the Dune Vibes. Maybe because the distinct Dennis Style has become synonymous with Dune. Still hopeful tho. Excited for Tabu.” Some fans however were absolutely convinced they’ve spotted Tabu, with one fan sharing the screengrab which shows a veiled character, another, just a shot of a bare back.
