Xena Warrior Princess was a spin off series from Hercules: The Legendary Journeys. The show aired on the USA Network from September 4, 1995 to May 21, 2001. The show stared Lucy Lawless as Xena and Renee O'Connor as Gabrielle.
As with Hercules the series was set in a fantasy ancient Greece with the same setting and time line situations. Xena's story began at the end of the first season of Hercules the Legendary Journeys. Xena appeared in the three episodes of the show, "The Warrior Princess", "The Gauntlet", and "Unchained Heart". By the end of "Unchained Heart" Hercules has changed Xena from bad to good and a new spin off was born. The show follows Xena along with Gabrielle on her quest for redemption from all the evil she has done in the past with her nemesis Ares always trying to get her back to evil and him.
