Sheena (2000): cast, story & where to watch

Released in 2000, Sheena is an action & adventure and sci-fi & fantasy series.

What it’s about. Sheena's parents were archaeologists who died in the jungle when she was about six years old, leaving their daughter Shirley Hamilton. She was taken in by Kali, a local Shamaness of a tribe who brought her up, and five years ago she was taught how to morph into animals and birds, acquiring their abilities, even flight. Further, she became a mythical creature called "The Darachna" who relies on people' fear of the unknown. For this she covers herself in a dark liquid mud which allows her to be largely unseen in the low light of the jungle, and with more than normal strength, agility and speed, and armed with a pair of gloves with bone claws, she is a formidable one woman fighting force. She does kill sometimes.

Who’s in it. Sheena stars Gena Lee Nolin as Sheena, John Allen Nelson as Matt Cutter, Margo Moorer as Kali and Kevin Quigley as Mendelsohn, among others.
