Sources inside NBC tell _The Hollywood Reporter_ that the network is looking for a writer to bring back the beloved series, which ran in syndication from 1995 to 2001\. The show’s original executive producers, Robert Tapert and Sam Raimi, are apparently already on board. It’s unclear whether the original star, Lucy Lawless (who is married to Tapert), would appear in the new version, though it seems there is a desire inside the network to have her involved in some way. The project is considered a “modern reboot” and insiders say there’s hope to launch it for the 2016 season. \[[_The Hollywood Reporter_\]](http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/xena-warrior-princess-reboot-nbc-809355) 'Xena: Warrior Princess' Reboot: Show Might Be Coming Back ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3965323/xena-warrior-princess-returns/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3965323/xena-warrior-princess-returns/"},"headline":"Xena: Warrior Princess Might Be Coming Back","datePublished":"2015-07-21T00:38:20.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T09:25:02.450Z","description":"NBC seems to be exploring a reboot","url":"https://time.com/3965323/xena-warrior-princess-returns/","keywords":["Television"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt98b53d7a3d8a8935/69885bafa988ca478b6b3896/xena.jpeg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Sarah Begley","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/sarah-begley/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt98b53d7a3d8a8935/69885bafa988ca478b6b3896/xena.jpeg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Lucy Lawless Stars In Xena: Warrior Princess Photo Universal International Television","caption":"Lucy Lawless Stars In Xena: Warrior Princess Photo Universal International Television","creditText":"Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3965323/xena-warrior-princess-returns/","name":"Xena: Warrior Princess Might Be Coming Back"}}]}] ```
