Also if we want to be very thorough, the original 80s Dune is also on Max lmao.

Also also, if anyone is ever bored, the Dune 2000 miniseries is on YouTube, which I have seen before! Probably when it came out but still, I remember seeing it! 2000 was the year for miniseries.

wow I have no recollection of a dune miniseries

I'm down for Lynch's dune if others are into it!

There are actually TWO miniseries LMAO. I didn't see the other one, but it was Children of Dune, which is book 3 I think? Dune 2021 is first half of book one, 2 is second half, and the third movie if they make it will be book 2 (get ready for some really weird shit if that happens).

The Children of Dune miniseries covers books 2 and 3 (Dune Messiah and Children of Dune). It's even better than the first Dune miniseries, and it stars James McAvoy!

Sci fi channel was SUCH a good channel back then. I remember their modern Oz series with Zoey Bangs Deschanel....and then....it went to shit

I was a HUGE Sci Fi fan and watched everything until 1.) Syfy and 2.) they canceled Farscape (which was actually before Syfy happened but still - it was 2009 haha, the Syfy renaming, not Farscape being canceled in 2003 + the miniseries in 2004 which was also Hallmark-produced lol).

And yes, Tin Man was great! Hallmark Entertainment used to make some amazing sci-fi/fantasy miniseries (Tin Man, the Dune stuff, THE TENTH KINGDOM, Dinotopia, etc) but they went under in 2005 and then became what it is now.

I found a list of all the Hallmark stuff when they were fantasy people and it's a lot of my childhood bops! I LOVED miniseries events back in the day, but alas, they seem to have died out.

"Snow Queen" was SO good and is so underrated.
