We are living in a day and age where Dune apparently is going mainstream. Did I get that right?

There's going to be a Dune prequel, set 10,000 years before the events of Paul Atreides. I think that this is a strange decision. I read the original Dune book when I was a teenager, and I could never imagine that Dune would have a moment where it went mainstream. Called Dune Prophecy, this series by Max seems to want to explore the events unfolding with one of the Great Houses (Harkonnen) and the Bene Gesserit. If I remember correctly from my "Dune lore," this will put the timeline right after the butlerian jihad and the beginning of the spacing guild. Spice was only a recreational drug, and there were no Navigators and faster than light ships ruled the universe.

One thing that Dune does have going for it is that its lore is very rich. After the sisterhood, it might be fun to see the Mentats, the Spacing Guild, the Ixians, and the Tleilaxu...maybe all of the ones I mentioned given their own seasons. Or I might be reading this thing completely wrong, and it could be just a tightly told tale that spans three or four seasons before telling some other story.

Anyway, I'm going to link the trailer below. Any of you Dune fans out there care to weigh in? It's certainly going to be worth watching when it arrives later this year.
