The "Dune" miniseries, released in 2000, is a 3 part television adaptation of Frank Herbert's iconic science fiction novel. Directed by John Harrison, the miniseries presents our FAVORITE adaptation of the novel both in scope and sheer music video realness.

The miniseries pays careful attention to character development with unparalleled world building and features a stellar cast, including William Hurt, Alec Newman, and Saskia Reeves. While working within the constraints of a television budget, the 2000 "Dune" miniseries received praise for its ambition in tackling Herbert's intricate narrative, making it a notable adaptation for fans of the novel. (Naturally we freaking loved it)

Originally published in serial format - Dune: Messiah is the second novel in Frank Herbert's "Dune" series, and it continues the complex narrative set in the expansive and intricate universe of Arrakis. The story unfolds several years after the events of the first novel, with Paul Atreides, now Emperor of the Known Universe, grappling with the consequences of his actions. As Paul struggles to maintain control over the sprawling empire, he faces political intrigue, betrayal, and the burdens of his prescient visions. The narrative delves into the complexities of leadership, the consequences of absolute power, and the intricate interplay of politics and religion. Dune Messiah is a thought-provoking exploration of the consequences of Paul's ascension and the challenges of ruling a universe. But is, in our opinion, a brilliantly tragic love story.

The "Children of Dune" miniseries, released in 2003, is a television adaptation of the second and third novels in Frank Herbert's "Dune" series: "Dune Messiah" and "Children of Dune." Directed by Greg Yaitanes, and written by John Harrison (who directed the 2000 miniseries). The first episode of the miniseries covers the events of Dune: Messiah and the last two episodes adapt Children of Dune. This is TO DATE the ONLY attempt to adapt these two novels.

"Children of Dune" received praise for its faithful adaptation of the source material and its portrayal of the complex characters and intricate political dynamics in Herbert's universe. The miniseries features strong performances from actors such as Alec Newman (Our Paul, hands down), Julie Cox, Alice Krige, and Susan Sarandon. While working within the constraints of a television budget, the "Children of Dune" miniseries is generally well-regarded by fans of the "Dune" series for its ambitious attempt to bring Herbert's intricate narrative to the screen.
