Sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that NBC and NBC Universal International are prepping a reboot of the beloved Lucy Lawless action-adventure drama. The drama is in the extremely early development stages and a search for a writer is currently underway. Original executive producers Rob Tapert and Sam Raimi are also involved in the project, which is considered to be a "modern reboot." It's unclear what, if any, role original star Lawless would have, though sources tell THR that insiders would like the original star to have both a role onscreen and behind the scenes. The drama is eyed for 2016. It's too early to know if Xena 2.0 would be a limited 13-episode run similar to Fox's revived 24 or a more standard full-season order. Insiders say the hope is for the new Xena to be an ongoing (read: renewable) series. 

Sources say the new Xena would have to have the charisma and charm of Lawless and the smarts of The Hunger Games' Katniss as producers are said to be looking for a sophisticated and smart superhero for a new generation.

Yes.  Hot chicks in sexy outfits.  What is not to like.  Also better have more explicit lez loving.

Though I'd rather it be on Starz. Just make it a straight up Spartacus clone and I'd watch, lol.

They rebooted the right one. Xena was way better than Hercules.

It would probably lose the over the top cheese, and be a shitty Game of Thrones clone.  :shaq

Lawless is sexy as hell still. Her Spartacus scenes are... invigorating.

I never understood the Gabrielle fetish, but then again I never understood the people interested in Buffy's Alysson Hannigan either.
