The first look of Tabu as Sister Francesca in Dune: Prophecy is out. The actress, who eagerly signed on to the prequel series to Denis Villeneuve's Dune films, appears compelling in the new image. Set 10,000 years before Paul Atreides' ascent, Dune: Prophecy follows the struggle of two Harkonnen sisters fighting to protect humanity's future. In the newly released still, Tabu, dressed in all black, delivers a powerful and intense portrayal of Sister Francesca.

Confessing that she said yes to Denis Villeneuve's Dune, 'without batting an eyelid', the actress added, "It has been an extraordinary experience playing Sister Francesca in Dune: Prophecy right from the moment I was approached for it, and I said yes without batting an eyelid."

"It’s an actor’s delight to be trusted by the creators with a character that is so interesting, intriguing, intelligent and emotionally powerful. Needless to say, it was such an immersive process diving into the depths of her complexity. I’m so excited to bring her story to the Indian and global audience through JioCinema. Stay tuned as you’ll see me a little later in the season, but the Dune Universe is so rich in its history and intrigue, I can’t wait for audiences around the world to explore it!" the crew actress added.
