Fans took a deeper dive into theDunesaga, when the prequel seriesDune: Prophecypremiered on HBO screens. The show explores the origins of the Bene Gesserit sisterhood. But according to one sharp-eyed Reddit user, connections between the show and theDunemovies by Denis Villeneuve run deeper than many might have realized.
The user suggested a theory in which the prequel’s storylines subtly set the stage for some of the most iconic elements of Villeneuve’s adaptations. Thus, bringing two stories together in a connected way.
AreDune: Prophecyand Denis Villeneuve’sDunemovies interconnected?
TheDuneuniverse, brought to life by Frank Herbert, is full of complex characters and interesting storylines. In order to present this on the big screen, filmmakerDenis Villeneuvehas done a great job, evident from the remarkable performance bothDuneandDune: Part Twohave had at the box office.
This universe was further expanded whenDune: Prophecy, based onGreat Schools of Duneby Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson, was released in November of this year. While the show concluded its first season finale recently, a user on Reddit shared a very interesting theory that might be able to connect the show and the movies.
Given that the show is based on events that happened 10,000 years prior to the movies, the user made a compelling case by detailing their own theory.
According to the theory, Mother Raquella is key to discovering a virus that causes extreme fear. This fear is believed to be the origin of the Litany of Fear, a mantra the Bene Gesserit uses to stay calm in the face of danger. The theory also suggests that the Bene Gesserit’s box test, where a person feels intense pain like their hand is burning, was inspired by this fear.
The Reddit user also highlights Desmond Hart, the main antagonist fromDune: Prophecy,who has the power to make people burn. This ability is similar to the pain felt during the box test, suggesting that the prequel series explains the origins of these traditions.

She also explained why it took her years to let her daughter, Aviana, watch the film. Adams revealed that her hesitation stemmed from not wanting her daughter to see her“mothering”on screen. She added:
I don’t want her to think that my mothering is in any way performative, so that’s why I was always careful.
