A total of 44 episodes aired throughout the series.[8]

When Richard Cypher (Craig Horner), a young woodsman, discovers that he is the one true Seeker and is prophecised to kill the evil tyrant Darken Rahl (Craig Parker). Along with the beautiful and mysterious Kahlan Amnell (Bridget Regan), a Confessor with the power to enslave people with a single touch, and a wise old wizard named Zeddicus Zu'l "Zedd" Zorander (Bruce Spence), Richard embarks on quest to fulfill the prophecy.

The trio discovers that the defeat of Darken Rahl unknowingly caused a tear in the veil which separates the world of the living and the Underworld, and the only way to seal the tear is to seek out the legendary Stone of Tears. The team is also joined by the Mord-Sith Cara (Tabrett Bethell), who reluctantly teamed up with the Seeker and helped Richard kill Darken Rahl.
