Fresh faces are getting involved with the Dune TV series on both sides of the camera.
Johan Renck, who was going to direct the opening episodes, has left the project and Shirley Henderson will no longer be playing Tula Harkonnen.
"As Dune: The Sisterhood (wt) has entered a pre-scheduled hiatus, there are some creative changes being made to the production in an effort to create the best series possible and stay true to the source material," an HBO Max spokesperson said in a statement to Deadline who broke the news. "Johan Renck has completed his work on the series and a new director will be brought on; through mutual agreement, Johan is moving on to pursue other projects. Additionally, Shirley Henderson will be exiting the series and will no longer be playing Tula Harkonnen."
Emily Watson is set to play Valya Harkonnen; with Indira Varma as Empress Natalya; Sarah-Sofie Boussnina as Princess Ynez; Shalom Brune Franklin as Mikaela; Faoileann Cunningham as Sister Jen; Aoife Hinds as Sister Emeline; Chloe Lea as Lila; Travis Fimmel as Desmond Hart; Mark Strong as Emperor Javicco Corrino; Jade Anouka as Sister Theodosia; and Chris Mason as Keiran Atreides. No word as yet on either a new director or a replacement for Henderson.
