Gaumont Television (France), Rysher TPE (United States) and Reteitalia (Italy) agreed to renew their participation to a new season. The France/Canada co-production agreement of the previous season was reconstituted, albeit with some different partners. Willing to take the risk, Rysher announced that it would produce a second season. At this point, the European partners still had not aired the first season, so the decision fell to Rysher. The first season aired earlier in the United States than elsewhere, thus in early 1993, Rysher TPE, the distributor that had sold the series to the American market, had to make a decision about financing a new season. The episodes are available on the online video on demand service Hulu, a joint venture between NBC and Fox Broadcasting Company. The season was released on DVD in Region 1 on Jby Anchor Bay Entertainment. Ratings increased, but Highlander received criticism for being too violent. MacLeod is involved in the Game, an ongoing battle during which all Immortals have to behead each other until only one is left.Ī number of changes affected the cast as well as the co-production agreement that financed the previous season. The series continues to follow the adventures of Duncan MacLeod, a 400-year-old Immortal who can only die if he is beheaded. The first episode of the season aired on Septemin broadcast syndication and the last aired on May 23, 1994. The second season of the international fantasy series Highlander: The Series, part of the Highlander franchise, consists of 22 episodes produced between 19.
