In the 1990s, syndicated television presented two popular hits that swept the world like a tidal wave. After an important 3 episode arc in Hercules: The Legendary Journeys featuring the character known as Xena, the spinoff show went on to gain an incredibly dedicated fanbase that remains strong after over 25 years. How did it all begin? My name is Aaron, and this is a look back at the series' original season from 1995 to 1996. This is A Tale of Xena: Warrior Princess - Season 1.

With the original 24 episodes completed, the cast and crew on Xena: Warrior Princess wasted little time before setting to work on a new season. After Season 1 wrapped up its filming process in March 1996, filming for Season 2 began only two months later in May 1996. Despite an enormous setback during production, the results were 22 episodes airing from late 1996 to the spring of 1997 and further critical acclaim. What were we presented with this time? My name is Aaron, bringing you another long look back at a memorable time in Xena history. This is A Tale of Xena: Warrior Princess - Season 2.

WARNING: Spoilers ahead!

With 2 successful seasons under their belt, the Xena cast and crew received the memo from executive producer Robert Tapert for the third season. It was decided to put the relationship between Xena and Gabrielle to the ultimate test. Our two heroines would encounter much pain and heartbreak, resulting in a much darker viewing experience throughout the season. Could these intense moments possibly spell the end of their relationship?! My name is Aaron, inviting you to a look back at another set of 22 Xena episodes from late 1997 to the spring of 1998. This is A Tale of Xena: Warrior Princess - Season 3.
