What happens

Beastmaster is an Australian-Canadian-American sword and sorcery television series inspired by the 1959 science fiction novel The Beast Master by American author Alice "Andre" Norton. The series re-imagines the adventures of the Beastmaster based upon the main protagonist character Dar from the 1982 MGM theatrical film, The Beastmaster, albeit with alternate allies and villains. The series aired 66 episodes over three complete seasons from 1999 to 2002. It was produced by Coote/Hayes Productions. The series was nominated an Open Craft Television Award in the category of cinematography by the Australian Film Institute in 2000, and for a Saturn Award for Best Syndicated/Cable Television Series by the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror Films in 2001.
