Blast from the past! Is Xena: Warrior Princess making a comeback?

Jul 21, 2015

This is one show we never expected to see again but according to reports, a reboot of Xena: Warrior Princess is allegedly in the works.

Although, it is still in its earliest stages. According to The Hollywood Reporter, NBC is considering a “modern reboot” of the series and they are currently looking for a writer before they can begin any work.

It is also suggested that the new show would go ahead with the involvement of Lucy Lawless, the actress who originally played Xena, although it is not yet known in what capacity.

The report also suggests that the original show’s producers, Rob Tapert and Sam Raimi are on board.

Ms Lawless is a supporter of a reboot but she is sceptical that it is actually going to go ahead.

Speaking at Comic Con earlier this month, the 47-year-old actress said “They’ve got to bring that back. I’ve been pitching that show this weekend.”

However, in the wake of reboot rumours, Ms Lawless took to Twitter to warn fans of the show not to get their hopes up just yet, saying that it is (at least for the moment) just a rumour.

Sorry, friends! news of a #Xena reboot is just a rumor. I'd love it to happen one day but it's still in the wishful thinking stage.
