So, about that reported Xena reboot.

This week saw The Hollywood Reporter report that NBC were planning to reboot the Lucy Lawless-led action series twenty years after it impacted the world of television as a ‘Hercules’ spinoff.

What they claimed?

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 series.

Lucy had this to say about the report.

Lawless recently completed work on Starz‘ ‘Spartacus’ in which she portrayed the cunning Lucretia.
