Lucy Lawless announced last week on her Twitter feed that a “Xena: Warrior Princess” reboot may be underway. Lawless, who played the titular heroine during the show’s six season run, was cautious in getting fans’ hopes up, but seemed confident that the franchise could be revitalized.

Lawless tweeted:

Had an interesting call from a chap who wants to re-invigorate the Xena brand. You guys may have started something. But there’s a lot of red tape around XWP so don’t get your knickers in a twist. It may come back in a different form.

Lawless, who most recently starred as the ill-fated Lucretia on the Starz original series “Spartacus,” said she believes that a new actress will step into Xena’s boots. While I have no idea who could take on the role of warrior princess, I can’t help but think how perfect “Spartacus: Blood and Sand” co-star Laura Surrich would be as sexy sidekick Gabrielle.
