Dune: Prophecy - Tabu appears in the penultimate episode of the season; what does this mean for Sister Francesca?
19 days ago | 5 Views
The world has been hooked on Max for the last several weeks because, after the massive success of The Penguin, HBO decided to release Dune: Prophecy, their next big show, without even wasting a week. While fans across the globe were excited to see the prequel show to the movies and learn the backstory, Indian viewers, who are watching it on JioCinema, are especially thrilled to see Tabu join the Dune franchise through Prophecy. The actor plays Sister Francesca in the show, a crucial part of the Sisterhood, and as we learned in episode two, she was involved in building the new order with Valya and Tula Harkonnen. However, the biggest mystery has been: when does Tabu enter the show?
Tabu To Enter Dune: Prophecy In Episode 5
It turns out that Tabu has now confirmed she will make her entry in Dune: Prophecy in the episode airing on December 15 in the West and December 16 in India. Sharing a glimpse of herself as Sister Francesca, Tabu wrote in the caption: “Prepare for a new Sister to show her strength. The #DuneProphecy episode featuring Tabu premieres December 15 on @streamonmax and December 16 in India on @officialjiocinema.”
But there's a catch. Dune: Prophecy is a six-episode-long limited series, of which two have already aired. This means the fifth episode, streaming on JioCinema on December 16, will feature Sister Francesca's introduction near the end of the first season. While the introduction described her as a recurring character, this suggests her role in the first season will be limited, likely paving the way for more significant involvement in the second season. Fans hoping for her appearance earlier might need to temper their expectations for this season.
