Highlander: The Series is a television show blending elements of fantasy, science fiction, and action-adventure, centered around Duncan MacLeod from the Scottish Clan MacLeod, known as the Highlander. This series serves as a spin-off and an alternate continuation of the 1986 film, with a unique twist: Connor MacLeod did not claim the ultimate prize, and Immortals continue to exist beyond 1985. Notably, Christopher Lambert, the original star of Highlander, made an appearance in the pilot episode to hand over the lead role to Adrian Paul. The series achieved international success and received three Gemini Award nominations, as well as a Saturn Award nomination in 1998.
