Overview

Highlander: The Series is a television production that serves as a spinoff within the Highlander franchise. The narrative centers on the character Duncan MacLeod, an immortal who has lived for 400 years. Throughout his extensive life, he has witnessed a significant portion of human history. As an immortal, he possesses the inability to die, yet he frequently finds himself in dangerous situations. The series depicts his ongoing struggles as he engages in battle against other immortals. Beyond these conflicts, Duncan MacLeod actively works to protect other people from harm. The broader Highlander franchise, which includes this series, originated with the 1986 fantasy action-adventure film that introduced the concept of individuals who discover they are ageless immortals destined to fight others of their kind. While the franchise has expanded to include multiple films and television projects, this specific series focuses on the experiences of Duncan MacLeod as he navigates his existence while balancing his immortality with his efforts to preserve the safety of those around him.
