La serie de televisión, rodada en un parque natural de Nueva Zelanda, empezó como un telefilm hasta recabar en 5 telefilmes para la televisión en 1994. Los títulos en español corresponden a los emitidos por TVE 1: Hércules y las Amazonas, Hércules y el reino perdido, Hércules y el círculo de fuego, Hércules en el mundo subterráneo, Hércules en el laberinto del Minotauro. Esta última dio paso a la serie de 42 minutos cada episodio.
Tras el éxito de Hércules, y luego el de Xena: la princesa guerrera, los productores pensaron en una nueva serie derivada llamada El Rey de los ladrones, pero se descartó porque el actor Bruce Campbell no quería trasladarse a vivir en Nueva Zelanda, de ahí que interviniera en contadas ocasiones para las dos primeras series.
