Tabu has secured a recurring role in the Max prequel series, portraying Sister Francesca. Described as "strong, intelligent, and alluring," her character leaves a lasting impact wherever she goes. 

Once a significant love interest of the emperor, her comeback to the palace threatens to disrupt the balance of power in the capital.

Originally commissioned in 2019 as 'Dune: The Sisterhood,' the series draws inspiration from the novel 'Sisterhood of Dune' by Brian Herbert and Kevin J Anderson. 

Set within the vast universe of 'Dune,' created by acclaimed author Frank Herbert, and occurring 10,000 years before the rise of Paul Atreides, 'Dune: Prophecy' centres on two Harkonnen sisters as they confront threats to humanity's future and lay the groundwork for the legendary Bene Gesserit sect.

In the upcoming project, Tabu will join a star-studded cast including Emily Watson, Olivia Williams, Johdi May, Travis Fimmel, Sarah-Sofie Boussnina, Mark Strong, Chloe Lea, Josh Heuston, and Jade Anouka, among others.

Co-produced by Max and Legendary Television, the series is closely tied to Legendary's film franchise. The release date of the show has been kept confidential.
