==Cast==

The main cast underwent substantial changes during the season. While [[Adrian Paul]] as [[Duncan MacLeod]] and [[Stan Kirsch]] as [[Richie Ryan (Highlander)|Richie Ryan]] returned to play their respective characters, [[Alexandra Vandernoot]] who portrayed [[Tessa Noel]] decided to leave the show.<ref>

Although her character was killed in the fourth episode "The Darkness", Vandernoot returned to make a guest appearance in the two-parter season finale "Counterfeit". [[Jim Byrnes (actor)|Jim Byrnes]] was introduced in the season pilot episode "The Watchers" as MacLeod's [[Watcher (Highlander)|Watcher]] [[Joe Dawson]], a member of a secret society that observes Immortals without interfering in the Game.
