Did you know

• This series uses material from the Great Schools of Dune trilogy, by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson. A prequel to the original Dune, it tells how the Sisterhood of Rossak evolved into the Bene Gesserit. The incident with Valya Harkonnen using voice is from one called 'Mentats of Dune'. All three books interweave the development of the Sisterhood, the Mentats, the Navigators and the Suk Doctors.

• This series takes place about 10,000 years before the events of the first Dune book/the birth of Paul Atreides.

• The drug Inez and Kieran indulge in during their night on town in first episode is possibly "Semuta", mentioned in several books in the Dune series. A narcotic made from the elacca wood tree of the planet Ecaz, Semuta is described as "timeless, sustained ecstasy". The drug's effect is further enhanced by a-tonal sounds which stimulate the brain and are referred to as "semuta music".
