Sam Raimi (Spider-Man) and the team that helped him make the syndicated hits Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and Xena: Warrior Princess is back in the national syndication game, this time producing a series based on Terry Goodkind’s fantasy bestseller Wizard’s First Rule. As with the other two series, this one features the rugged and beautiful New Zealand landscape as its filming backdrop in the story of a woodsman who discovers his own magical powers and must use them to stop a tyrant from unleashing an ancient evil.
Wizard’s First Rule has been cleared to air in 95% of the country, including the top 50 markets, beginning Nov. 1 with a two-hour event (succeeding episodes are one hour each). Check your local market for more details on channels and air dates.
