Tin Man — a modern sci-fi version of The Wizard of Oz starring Zooey Deschanel — finally has a Canadian air date. The three-part mini-series will air on three consecutive nights, starting Saturday, Aug. 1, on Space.

Tin Man has been rusting on the shelves at CTV (which owns Space) for quite a while. The six-hour project first aired on the Sci Fi Channel in the United States in December 2007, and it was nominated for multiple Emmy Awards in 2008, winning one.

Besides Deschanel, who plays D.G. (the Dorothy character), Tin Man also stars Alan Cumming, Callum Keith Rennie, Neal McDonough, Richard Dreyfuss and Canadian Kathleen Robertson.
