NBC Develops Xena Warrior Princess Reboot
Twenty years after its premiere, Xena Warrior Princess may return to television. According to the sources of The Hollywood Reporter, NBC and NBC Universal International are preparing a reboot of the popular adventure drama starring Lucy Lawless. The TV project is at an early stage of development, and a scriptwriter is currently being sought. The original series executive producers Sam Raimi and Robert G. Tapert are involved in a project that is being marketed as a "modern reboot". The extent to which Lawless is involved is unclear, although sources for the publication claim that the initiators of the revival of the project want the star of the original series to combine work in front of and behind the camera. The project will be roughly ready in 2016. It's too early to say will Xena 2.0 become a limited-episode series like 24 Hours: Live Another Day on Fox, or will NBC book a full season. Insiders say there is hope that the new "Xena" will be a multi-seasons series.
