Season chronology | |
The sixth season (and final) of the French/Canadian drama/adventure television series Highlander began airing 5 October 1997 and finished on 16 May 1998. The series continues to follow the adventures of Duncan MacLeod, a 400-year-old Immortal who can only die if he is beheaded. MacLeod is involved in the Game, an ongoing battle during which all Immortals have to behead each other until only one is left.
Production
Although season five was meant to be the final season of the show, the show was renewed for a sixth season. Production began in July and ended in December. When funding finally was announced, Adrian Paul was working on Highlander: Endgame and said he’d only be available for half the season or eleven episodes. Peter Wingfield, Jim Byrnes, and Elizabeth Gracen were contracted to fill out the season. However, Peter and Elizabeth had other commitments that prevented them from being available for filming until November 1998. The series began filming in Paris in the summer and the producers had been approached about doing a spin-off series, which would center on a female immortal (who later became Highlander: The Raven). A number of "spec" scripts for the new series were filmed as episodes to fill out the season. But, funding was again cut and only thirteen episodes were filmed. Duncan does not appear at all in two of the episodes, Two of Hearts and Indiscretions (which does feature both Peter Wingfield and Jim Byrnes). "Indiscretions" was the last episode filmed for the series, but was shown before the finale two-parter, "To Be" and "Not To Be".
