Turns out, there can be more than one. SyfyWire reports there may be another Highlander TV show in the works.
Already, there have been two series in the Highlander franchise, which is based on the original 1986 movie and follows the immortal being Connor MacLeod. The first show, Highlander: The Series, ran from 1992 to 1998 while a spin-off, Highlander: The Raven, only ran for one season before ending in 1999.
According to Syfy, there may be a Highlander series reboot in addition to the already announced film reboot. In a recent interview, director Chad Stahelski says the upcoming movie may lead to a series:
We’re trying to design in a way that gives us a little more lead-in, a little more time with the mythology and see some of the best characters. They did seven seasons of TV, and even though the TV show may not hold up today, the idea of it and the characters they brought in were super cool. So we’re trying to devise a methodology that leads up to The Quickening. You just don’t end with a one-on-one battle in New York, cut off a guy’s head, and that’s it. We want to do this in such a way that it becomes more of a series, whether it’s short form or long form, that would let us explore that in the best way. I have a huge, heartfelt love and respect for the project, so we’re trying to find the best way to do it to give fans what they want.”
