Conan: The Adventurer (originally broadcast as simply
Conan) is an American television series created, developed, financed, distributed and produced by Max A. Keller and Micheline Keller from 1997 to 1998 and loosely based on the
fantasy hero Conan the Barbarian. The TV show premiered on September 22, 1997, and ran for 22 episodes. The series has been broadcast in over 150 countries throughout the world. Keller Entertainment Group continues to market and distribute the series worldwide and the series has longevity among international broadcasters and DVD aggregators. This live-action series stars
Ralf Möller as Conan of
Cimmeria and
Danny Woodburn as his sidekick Otli. The storyline is quite different from the Conan lore created in the original Conan novels and short stories by
Robert E. Howard, as well as that of the Conan earlier depicted in the various
Conan comic book series by
Marvel Comics. The TV character is based on the version in
the 1980s films, but there is no
continuity between the films and TV series.
