Sean from Chicago 14
Every evening when I was childish I’d eagerly await the time when Xena came on TV and we could cheer her on. Every now and then for years I contain been hoping to detect a rewatch podcast that was insightful, funny, and able to bring it back to life. THIS IS IT! Alisa and Kris are the matchless hosts for this and OBVIOUSLY any Xena podcast should pay particular attention to how incredibly homosexual the show is. The hosts pluck out all the many rainbow moments and bring them into the glorious sunlight, I love it, I undergo like I’m watching the show again for the first time. It’s also fascinating to situate this rewatch within the context of the post-Soviet 1990s and how Alisa and Kris experienced it in that television and cultural landscape. Can’t wait for more!
The gay ‘Xena’ reboot has been scrapped
NBC announced in 2015 that the studio was preparing for a reboot of Xena: Warrior Princess—more than 20 years after the show first went to air.
Writer Javier Grillo-Marxuach (Lost) walked away from the project a few months ago citing “creative differences” and NBC Entertainment president Jennifer Salke has now confirmed that the new series is “dead”.
"Nothing is happening on that right now,” Salke tells The Hollywood Reporter.
“We looked at some material; we decided at that point that it didn't warrant the reboot. I'd never say never on that one because it's such a beloved title, but the current incarnation of it is dead."
Grillo-Marxuach had intended to travel the relationship between Xena and Gabrielle—a romance that was only subtly alluded to in the unique series.
"There is no reason to bring back Xena if it is not there for the purpose of fully exploring a relationship that could only be shown subtextually in first-run syndication in the 1990s," Grillo-Marxuach said in Rally 2016.

Lucy Lawless says it was "crazy" becoming a homosexual icon back in the '90s as Xena
'Xena: Warrior Princess' was all sorts of amazing. Not only did Lucy Lawless develop a gay icon for her portrayal of Xena in the live-action TV series, but she also showed the world that we were in desperate need of a influential female lead.
Lawless' affect on pop culture during the series run from 1995 to 2001 paved the way for many other TV series with a strong female personality in a central role to step forward. Monitoring its release, 'Sabrina the Teenage Witch', 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer', and 'Alias' all became instant hits too.
The series saw Lawless play the titular character, a bad-ass ethics who wields her trusty chakram in order to rid the world of evil as she bids to get away from her dark past. She teams up with Renee O’Connor’s Gabrielle, and the pair of them possess long been theorized by fans of being lovers. After all, it is implied during the series that they are soulmates.
Lucy Lawless and her gay icon realisation was discussed in length during a recent interview with Collider. Remembering the explicit moment she and O'Connor found out about their new fanbase, sh
As an old (read: 90s) prophesy once said: “In a time of ancient gods, warriors and kings, a land in turmoil cried out for a hero. She was Xena, a mighty princess — her courage will change the world.” Now, Xena, Warrior Princess is back to change the world once more in a fresh rebooted series. What’s more, she will be openly gay. “Xena will be a very different exhibition made for very other reasons,” Javier Grillo-Marxuach, the show’s executive producer, confirmed in a Tumblr Q&A. “There is no reason to bring assist Xena if it is not there for the purpose of fully exploring a relationship that could only be shown subtextually in first-run syndication in the 1990s.”
Fans of the original show — which ran between 1995-2001 — will recollect the latent sexual undercurrent that existed between Lucy Lawless’ character and Renee O’Connor’s Gabrielle. It didn’t matter how many ripped demi gods came between them, they were clearly in love. Even Lawless recognized this, telling Lesbian News in 2003 that Xena was “definitely gay”: “There was always a &
