Diane Ademu-John is leaving her position as co-showrunner on the Dune prequel series Dune: The Sisterhood, according to a report from Deadline. Alison Schapker, a seasoned television writer and producer, is currently the only one left in charge of the show’s production. However, Ademu-John won’t completely disappear because she will still work as an executive producer on the show and continue to contribute to its creative vision. The update does not appear to be cause for concern because it appears that her departure was made to offer her more time to concentrate on her future projects and not because of any creative disputes.
The information that filming for the prequel series is now taking place in Budapest, Hungary. Fans were informed of the happy news via Johan Renck’s Instagram account, who served as the show’s director of photography for the first and second episodes. Renck’s post was captioned, “On this day, we commence filming Dune: The Sisterhood for HBO Max. Through machinations taking place millennia before the story you all know, we descend into the coven that one day shall be named the Bene Gesserit.”
The events of the critically acclaimed first film are 10,000 years in the past as the prequel series begins. The titular Harkonnen Sisters, who would later become the driving force behind the enigmatic Bene Gesserit sect, will be followed in The Sisterhood. These strong women develop extraordinary abilities as they achieve control over their bodies and thoughts, which they employ to combat evil forces that pose serious risks to human survival. They will also be followed by the show as they pursue their respective interests.
The AppleTV anthology drama series Extrapolations, for which Ademu-John is a member of the writing staff, is next on the schedule for her. The television series which has not yet been given a release date, is planned to portray the damaging effects of global warming through a number of interconnected scenarios. Meryl Streep, Kit Harington, and Forest Whitaker are a few of the members of the show’s ensemble cast. The Originals, Empire, and Medium are just a few of the shows for which Ademu-John has previously written.
