Xena will be openly gay in new reboot

XENA

’90s smash hit ‘Xena: Warrior Princess’ is in line for a brand new reboot and one of the top staffers on the show has dropped major hints that the new Xena will be out and proud.

The original series was dripping with subtext, with repeated hints at a relationship between Lucy Lawless’ Xena and her flaxen-haired companion Gabrielle. This time around, it may not be so tongue-in-cheek.

Writer and producer Javier Grillo-Marxuach, who is currently working on the pilot of the new series, responded to a question about the death of a gay character on another series he works on (‘The 100’) and how that would shape his writing for ‘Xena’.

“I am a very different person with a very different world view than my employer on ‘The 100’ – and my work on ‘The 100’ was to use my skills to bring that vision to life,” Grillo-Marxuach wrote.

“‘Xena’ will be a very different show made for very different reasons. There is no reasons 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.”

“It will also express my view of the world – which is only further informed by what is happening right now – and is not too difficult to know what that is if you do some digging.”
