YES PLEASE: 'Xena: Warrior Princess' Might Be Coming Back

Badass ladies are taking over pop culture. There's Agent Carter on TV (opens in new tab), Wonder Woman about to hit screens, and of course, The Hunger Games' Katniss Everdeen. And now, the most badass warrior of all just might join them.

According to The Hollywood Reporter (opens in new tab), NBC is thinking about bringing back Xena: Warrior Princess in a "modern reboot." The show, which got its start as a Hercules spinoff in the '90s, starred Lucy Lawless as an Amazon warrior going on adventures with her sidekick, Gabrielle. Execs hope that Lawless would have a hand in the production both in front of and behind the camera, but it's unclear whether she would revive her character.

Lawless brought everyone down a peg, saying things were "still in the wishful thinking stage." But Variety (opens in new tab) reports that hope is not lost—things are just in very early talks, so anything could happen. 

*SPOILER ALERT*

Even though Xena dies in the show's finale, Lawless doesn't see that as an obstacle to her bringing back her iconic character. "So what? Technicality," she joked during Comic-Con (opens in new tab). "No one really dies! Screw her head back on, it's a bit wonky, and she's got a really bad attitude since she's been in a box for 20 years, so they've got to get Xena's mojo back, and go and save the world somehow."

Damn straight.
