Actress Tabu makes her way to the cast of ‘Dune’ for its upcoming series, soon to be released on JioCinema. ‘DUNE: PROPHECY’ is a Max original series, which will be a part of the critically acclaimed movie franchise, that built a dedicated fandom after winning six Academy Awards. Set within the expansive universe of Dune, created by acclaimed author Frank Herbert, ‘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.
