To date, The 2000 Dune miniseries and its 2003 sequel are two of the three highest-rated programs ever to be broadcast on the Sci Fi Channel.Īnd it did well when it came to awards as well.įrank Herbert’s Dune won two Emmy Awards in 2001 for Outstanding Cinematography and Outstanding Special Visual Effects in a miniseries or movie, and was nominated for a third Emmy for Outstanding Sound Editing. Two of the three installments also rated among the year’s top 10 original cable movies. This doubled all viewership records for Sci Fi, placing Dune among the top ten of basic cable’s original miniseries in the five years previous. The first installment achieved a 4.6 rating with 3 million homes, and the miniseries averaged a 4.4/2.9 million households over all three nights.
