The Sci Fi Channel has a new mini-series in development based on the fantasy world of Oz. Steven Long Mitchell and Craig Van Sickle, creators of the new TV series MEDICAL EXAMIATION and THE PRETENDER, are developing the four-hour project TIN MAN for the Channel.

Mitchell and Sickle's spin on the classic L. Frank Baum landscape sees a young girl named Dorothy fall into an alternate universe that is policed by officers called Tin Men. As she travels through a region called the Outer Zone (or "O.Z."), Dorothy meets up with three strange individuals who join her on her quest.

The duo would write and executive produce the show for the network.
