Mortal Kombat: Conquest is an American martial arts television series developed by Juan Carlos Coto. Based on the Mortal Kombat fighting game franchise.
In a recent podcast with Aslom Ullah, actor Jeff Meek (who played both Raiden and Shao Khan) spoke about its production, and the plans for season 2.
The show aired in syndication for one season from October 3, 1998 to May 22, 1999. The series serves as a prequel to the games, following the original Kung Lao (Paolo Montalban) as he protects Earthrealm with the help of bodyguard Siro (Daniel Bernhardt) and former thief Taja (Kristanna Loken). The show also features game characters such as Kitana, Raiden and Sub-Zero. It was one of the first live action shows based on a video game to air on United States television, preceded only by the live action segments of The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!.
