NBC's Xena: Warrior Princess reboot is not going forward.

After parting ways with writer Javier Grillo-Marxuach (Lost) a few months ago, NBC Entertainment president Jennifer Salke said the proposed revival in its most recent form is dead.

"Nothing is happening on that right now. We looked at some material; we decided at that point that it didn't warrant the reboot," Salke tells The Hollywood Reporter. "I'd never say never on that one because it's such a beloved title, but the current incarnation of it is dead."

Xena: Warrior Princess was poised to get the revival treatment — with a new actress taking on the role made famous by Lucy Lawless. Xena co-creator Rob Tapert and Sam Raimi were on board to oversee the NBC International Television Studios entry via their Ghost House Pictures banner.

NBC use to be the allstar footballer in high school that you see later working fries at Arbys. Man remember "Must see tv"?

This would have been cancelled pretty fast anyway.

That's a shame, but yeah. You can't bring the same level of camp that Xena had to today and have it work. The 90's were a special opportunity for campy shows.

Ash vs. Evil Dead is the closest we're getting

Can't say I mind, I mean not everything needs a reboot. Think of new stuff people .

Sincerely? Good.
Xena is Lucy Lawless and the only reason i can accept Xena not being her is if it continues from the same timeline where she's too old to be a warrior and so nominates a spiritual heir called like that.
A reboot is the worst you can do to this series.

Probably for the best.
