Xena could fight another day

A MODERN reboot of Xena: Warrior Princess is in the works, 20 years since it debuted on screens.

There is no word yet on whether Kiwi actor Lucy Lawless, who played Xena in the original series, will have a role to play in the remake. Sources have told The Hollywood Reporter they’re hopeful Lawless will have a role on screen and behind the scenes. Xena, a spin- off from Hercules: The Legendary Journeys, ran from 1995 to 2001 and was shot in New Zealand. The drama is in the early development stages and is being eyed for a 2016 release.
