Xenites rejoice (or not)! The ‘Xena’ reboot is one step closer to reality

Grab your chakram and your best girl, Xena is one step closer to returning to television!

NBC's new syndicated Xena reboot just got a little closer to actually happening with the announcement that Javi Grillo-Marxuach (Lost, The 100, The Middleman) will be joining as both a writer and executive producer along with original series alums Rob Tapert and Sam Raimi.

No word yet on whether Lucy Lawless is involved with the project, but with Grillo-Marxuach penning the script –– and knowing his love for the original, I'm thinking it may tempt her.

Javi, of course, approached it with his usual savoir-faire.

Can't. Wait.
