Dune: The Sisterhood is going back into production. The Max series, a prequel to the Dune films, is set to resume production in Budapest despite the ongoing writers and actors strikes.

Starring Olivia Williams, Jodhi May, Sarah-Sofie Boussnina, Shalom Brune-Franklin, Faoileann Cunningham, Aoife Hinds, and Chloe Lea, the sci-fi series is set 10,000 years prior to the events seen in the feature film.

Deadline revealed the following about the Max series returning to production:

The series thus takes the path of House of the Dragon and Industry, given that, like those HBO titles, The Sisterhood is under contract with British Equity, with some from SAG-AFTRA also in the mix. And per guidance from the actors guild stateside, members working under Equity contracts are to “continue to report.” SAG card carriers working on Equity productions may choose to boycott but, due to tough anti-strike laws in the UK, studios would be able to sue them directly to force them back on to set.

Dune: The Sisterhood began filming in November and took a scheduled break before the strikes began.
