Dune: Prophecy Star’s 2016 Video Game Adaptation Receives 76% Audience Rating and New Streaming Platform After Netflix Success

Dune: Prophecy is a compelling ensemble series that draws together actors from diverse backgrounds to narrate the origins of the Bene Gesserit sisterhood. The main cast shines with talent, featuring Emily Watson, Olivia Williams, Chloe Lea, Jade Anouka, Faoileann Cunningham, Aoife Hinds, Travis Fimmel, and Jodhi May. The series has generally received positive reviews and has recently concluded its season on Max. Just this week, it was confirmed that Dune: Prophecy will return for a second season, allowing its creators to further explore this rich, sci-fi narrative.

While the majority of the cast is female, notable Australian actor Travis Fimmel brings a unique perspective, backed by an intriguing career. He gained fame for his performance as Ragnar Lothbrok in the acclaimed series Vikings. Fimmel has also portrayed the titular character in the 2003 adaptation of Tarzan and appeared in the series The Beast. Interestingly, one of his prominent films is set to switch streaming platforms shortly.

The 2016 film Warcraft, based on the popular video game series, will soon be available on Max.

Fimmel stars alongside a notable cast, which includes Paula Patton, Ben Foster, Dominic Cooper, and Ben Schnetzer.

Why You Should Watch Warcraft On Max

It Is An Important Video Game Adaptation

Max has several video game adaptations lined up for release, including the eagerly awaited Tom Holland film Uncharted, which debuts later in January. Leading up to Uncharted, Warcraft stands out as a must-watch for fans of video game adaptations. Drawing on a major gaming franchise, the film provides a captivating exploration of its source material, and for those yearning for more of Fimmel’s work since Dune: Prophecy, this film satisfies that craving.

Here’s what ScreenRant notes about Warcraft:

Jones keeps his focus narrow – centering on six main characters joined by interconnecting relationships and motivations. The goal is clear: capture as many different perspectives on the war as possible – in an effort to ensure that, like the game itself, there are heroes and villains on both sides of the conflict. Yet, attempting to develop and service so many viewpoints, not to mention established characters, only ensures that no one person or thematic through-line is fleshed-out. Friendships come easy, romance is forced, sacrifices fall flat, and twists carry little emotional weight – most attempts to expand on fantasy tropes, and opportunities that could have drawn non-Warcraft players into the story, only move the plot (rather than the characters) forward.
