How to watch the Gargoyles animated series in order

Gargoyles follows a clan of stone warriors who awaken from a thousand-year curse in modern New York City. With its main run and a controversial follow-up season, this guide sorts out how to watch.

Gargoyles stood out among 1990s animated series for its Shakespearean drama, serialized storytelling, and surprisingly mature themes. It follows Goliath and his clan of gargoyles, who turn to stone by day and protect the city by night after awakening in modern Manhattan. The show is remembered fondly, though its final season is often treated separately by fans.

πŸ• Release Order

Release order follows the clan's story as it aired, including the divisive third season produced by a different team.

  1. Gargoyles Season 1 (1994)
  2. Gargoyles Season 2 (1995-1996)
  3. Gargoyles: The Goliath Chronicles (Season 3) (1996)

The Goliath Chronicles was made without series creator Greg Weisman and is considered non-canon by many fans, who instead follow the story's continuation through later comic books.

πŸ“– Story Chronology

The core continuity runs through the first two seasons, which tell the intended, tightly plotted story.

  1. Gargoyles Season 1 (1994)
  2. Gargoyles Season 2 (1995-1996)

Which Order Should You Choose?

Start with Seasons 1 and 2 in order, as they contain the show's strongest and most cohesive storytelling. Whether to continue into The Goliath Chronicles is up to you: it wraps up the TV series but is widely regarded as a step down in quality and continuity. Purists often stop after Season 2 and treat the comics as the true continuation, while completists can watch all three seasons in order.
