action

The plot of the series is parallel to the events of the film The Mummy Returns . The young Alex O'Connell still wears the Anubis bracelet in the series , which he puts on in the film and can only be removed at the end of the film. Because of this bracelet he is hunted by the evil mummy of the ancient Egyptian high priest Imhotep . He wants to take the bracelet because it is the key to command over the army of Anubis , a powerful army of the undead, by means of which he wants to gain world domination. Looking for a way to remove Anubis' bracelet from his wrist and defeat Imhotep, the O'Connells travel the world, always pursued by Imhotep and his helpers.

As punishment for having a romantic relationship with the Pharaoh's lover , the high priest Imhotep was mummified alive in 1290 BC and subjected to the worst of all curses , the Hom-Dai . He was awakened again in 1933 by means of a magical ancient Egyptian book. Now he is looking for the bracelet of Anubis , which will increase his magical powers and show him the way to world domination.

background

The series was created in 2001 after the success of the first two films in the successful Mummy franchise , but fell far short of the success hoped for. The reason for this was assumed to be the poor visual implementation of the series - compared to the very effects heavy films. So initially only a season with 13 episodes was produced. In 2003, however, after a year of interruption, a stylistically revised second season was produced, also with 13 episodes under a changed (original) title. Since this season could not achieve the desired success, the series was discontinued entirely.
