What is Tiran-Arafel in Dune: Prophecy?


With Dune: Part Two poised to land at least a handful of nominations at the Oscars 2025 after convincing most critics and moviegoers earlier this year, HBO’s prequel TV series Dune: Prophecy should be huge. So far, we think it’s off to a solid start, but what lies on the horizon?

Episodes 1 and 2 aren’t exactly a slam dunk of sci-fi goodness, but they’re a convincing enough first act that suggests Dune: Prophecy might have survived its many creative shakeups on the way to the small screen. The central pitch behind the show seems to be ‘let’s make Game of Thrones but with Frank Herbert’s universe’ — a logical fit for anyone who’s read some of the material it’s based on. Villeneuve’s Dune movies already went deep into political power plays and high-stakes drama, so the injection of such DNA doesn’t feel entirely new here. That said, the TV medium allows for more subplots to flourish and more ‘slow burns’ stories.

After watching the first two episodes (out of six), you’ll probably have many questions; what’s the ‘burning truth’ that Mother Superior Raquella Berto-Anirul talks about before passing away? And who or what is the Tiran-Arafel, the seemingly impending doom coming for both the Bene Gesserit and mankind as a whole?
