 
                    Highlander: The Raven is a spin-off from Highlander: The Series starring Adrian Paul and Duncan MacLeod. Amanda was a recurring character on the original show and when that was finished in 1998, Highlander: The Raven came along, it first aired on September 26th, 1998, till May 22nd, 1999.
Highlander: The Raven unfortunately only lasted one season, in part because it had a different set-up than the original series, it became more of a procedural show than anything else. What is also unfortunate is that Adrian Paul never guest starred in the first and only season.
Back in the day, when Highlander the Series was running on its last legs, it became clear that the follow-up series would revolve around a female immortal. Elizabeth Gracen's character Amanda seemed the obvious choice, still it was not self-evident she got the role because the creators of the original Highlander series tried out a number of female actors for the lead role, like Claudia Christian (Babylon 5) and Justina Vail (Seven Days).
Ultimately it became Elizabeth Gracen's character Amanda but it did not became a success and as said, it was cancelled after only one season. I felt unsure, when I watched the show, if Elizabeth Gracen could carry a show like that as a lead character! Still, I did enjoy it for the most part! In the special feature below you'll get a deeper background look, very revealing!
