Olivia Williams spilled some tea about her time on Friends, and her experience was not great.

Joe Otterson TV Reporter “The Good Daughter” limited series adaptation at Peacock has added four new series regulars, Variety has learned. Olivia Williams (“Dune: Prophecy,” “The Father”), Michael Dorman (“Joe Pickett,” “Patriot”), Audrey Grace Marshall (“The Flight Attendant,” “The Fairly OddParents: Fairly Odder”), and Drew Cheek have all joined the series, which is based on the Karin Slaughter novel of the same name. They will star alongside previously announced cast members Rose Byrne, Meghann Fahy, Brendan Gleeson, and Harper Steele.

Dune: Prophecy is getting a second season!

HBO‘s Dune: Prophecy will be returning for a second season. The news was announced today during a virtual press conference with showrunner EP Alison Schapker, and stars Emily Watson and Olivia Williams.

Joe Otterson TV Reporter “Wheel of Time” Season 3 is continuing to build out its cast. Variety has learned that Olivia Williams (“The Crown,” “Rushmore”), Callum Kerr (“Hollyoaks,” “Monarch”), Luke Fetherston (“Doctor Who,” “Big Mood”), and Nuno Lopes (“White Lines,” “The New Look”) have all joined the high-fantasy series at Amazon Prime Video. They will play members of the royal family of the kingdom of Andor.

Since their early 20s, Emily Watson and Olivia Williams’ careers have run on parallel tracks. Born one year apart, they first got to know each other by pondering their futures together on a patch of grass outside The Black Swan pub in Stratford-upon-Avon. “We met at the Royal Shakespeare Company, in the early ’90s, where we were in different plays in different seasons,” says Williams. The two never ended up on stage together. “Partly because there aren’t that many scripts around for two leading ladies of the same age,” adds Watson.

Dune: Prophecy star Olivia Williams says she was initially suspicious of a “feminist” spin-off project because the book was written by “a bloke in the ’60s”.The Dune prequel series is set 10,000 years before the ascension of Paul Atreides in the recent Denis Villeneuve films, and is based on the novel Sisterhood Of Dune, written by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson.

Dune: Prophecy is off to a strong start as the premiere episode tallied 1.2M cross-platform U.S. viewers on Sunday, according to Warner Bros. Discovery.

Dune: Prophecy has officially landed at Max as of Sunday, Nov. 17 when the series premiered.

Jordan Moreau SPOILER ALERT:This article contains spoilers for the premiere of “Dune: Prophecy,” titled “The Hidden Hand,“ now streaming on Max. Eight months after the premiere of the movie “Dune: Part 2,” it’s time to go 10,000 years into the story’s past with HBO’s prequel series “Dune: Prophecy.” Since the show is set in the distant past, there’s no Timothée Chalamet as Paul Atreides, Austin Butler as Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen or Florence Pugh as Princess Irulan Corrino — but their family dynasties are well represented in “Dune: Prophecy.” The show explains the origins of the Bene Gesserit, the powerful, all-female sect that secretly pulls the political strings of the universe. (Rebecca Ferguson’s Lady Jessica and Lea Seydoux’s Lady Margot are among the most famous Bene Gesserit in Denis Villeneuve’s “Dune” movies.) Emily Watson and Olivia Williams star as Valya and Tula Harkonnen, two sisters who lead the Bene Gesserit Sisterhood.

Jordan Moreau There’s a whole new generation of Atreides and Harkonnen families introduced in HBO’s prequel series “Dune: Prophecy,” set 10,000 years before the events of Denis Villeneuve’s two “Dune” movies. Since the show is set so far in the past, there aren’t any traces of Timothee Chalamet as Paul Atreides, Austin Butler as Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen or Florence Pugh as Princess Irulan, but their long-ago ancestors take center stage here.

While viewers await Denis Villeneuve’s third Dune film, Max’s Dune: Prophecy series will take audiences back to the world of Frank Herbert’s science fiction novels.

Emily Watson and Olivia Williams hit the black carpet at the premiere of their new show Dune: Prophecy held at Jazz at Lincoln Center on Wednesday night (October 30) in New York City.
