The star-studded cast includes Emily Watson, Olivia Williams, Travis Fimmel, Jodhi May, Mark Strong, and several other talented actors who will bring the characters to life on screen.
The project follows the triumph of Dune: Part Two, which has grossed an impressive $710 million worldwide at the box office. With a team of seasoned industry professionals at the helm, including Diane Ademu-John, Anna Foerster, and Jordan Goldberg, the series promises to deliver a compelling narrative that will captivate audiences.
