The 1986 film has two sets of sequels that contradict each other, and the most disowned of them exists in three different cuts.

Where to start with Highlander

Watch the 1986 film, then commit to the television branch. The two theatrical sequels are the other branch, and choosing them means choosing the smaller, more contradicted half of the franchise.

  1. 1
    Highlander (1986) Highlander

    The only piece every version agrees on. Both branches start here, and it is the last thing the two of them have in common.

  2. 2
    Highlander: The Series, season 1 Highlander: The Series

    Introduces a second immortal Scot and quietly rewrites the first film's ending so the story can continue. It is uneven and it is meant to be watched anyway.

  3. 3
    Highlander: The Series, season 2 Highlander: The Series

    Where the show stops imitating the film and becomes its own thing, adding the Watchers and the ongoing cast the rest of the branch depends on.

Then what? Carry on through seasons three to six, which are the strongest run in the whole franchise. After that, The Raven is a one season spin-off that ends on a cliffhanger nothing resolves, Endgame in 2000 brings the film lead and the series lead together and is the only real bridge between the two branches, and The Source in 2007 is a made for television sequel that the people who made it later treated as though it had not happened. If you want the film branch instead, it is Highlander, then Highlander III, and Highlander II is optional at best. The animated series, the web series and the anime film are three separate side worlds that require nothing and lead nowhere.

A suggested way in, not an official one. The full list is below — tick anything off in either place.

Sync & backup

Your progress is saved on this device automatically. To carry it to another device, move the code below.

The code holds only this franchise. The link opens the tracker with your progress already filled in — good for showing someone where you're at. The image is a picture you can keep anywhere: scan the code on it with a phone, or drag the file back in below.

Drag a SagaList image here, or .

This reads the progress stored inside the picture, so nothing has to be retyped. If the image has been through a messaging app it may have been re-encoded and lost that — scan the code on it instead, or copy the code printed along the bottom.

Restoring replaces the progress currently saved on this device for the franchise the code belongs to.
