While Dune: Prophecy says it’s based on the novel Sisterhood of Dune by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson, it’s really drawn much more closely from Mentats of Dune, which comes from a whole trilogy of Dune spinoff novels known as the “Schools of Dune Trilogy” that explore some of the backstory of this famous sci-fi universe.
That’s just one little bit of trivia you might not know about the new Dune TV series, but we’ve got a whole lot more. In our latest video, we’ll breakdown all the Dune Easter eggs, little details, and hidden secrets you might have missed in the Dune: Prophecy premiere.
