Dune's female-led spin-off, The Sisterhood, got a major name change. The Max series will release in fall 2024.

IGN confirmed the news that the female-led spin-off has been retitled, Dune: Prophecy. The series is a prequel to Frank Herbert's 1965 sci-fi classic novel.  It takes place nearly 10,000 years before the events of the book. The series is based on the book Sisterhood of Dune co-written by Kevin J. Anderson and Frank Herbert's son, Brian Herbert.

While the SAG-AFTRA strike has caused production delays in the United States — even causing Dune: Part Two to move to spring 2024 — the spin-off series is still in production. This is due to the Max series' cast primarily being made up of Equity, not SAG-AFTRA, who are not striking, and filming taking place in Hungary.

The production has been a bit of a rollercoaster. Director Johan Renck and star Shirley Henderson both exited the Max series, Deadline reported earlier this year. Emily Watson, Olivia Williams, Jodhi May, Sarah-Sofie Boussnina, and Shalom Brune-Franklin will star in the series.
