Lucy Lawless Is Totally Here For A Black, Lesbian Xena

The actress weighed in on a potential lesbian love affair in the upcoming "Xena" reboot.

Xena: Warrior Princess is the latest TV show to be getting a reboot, but the new version may finally show the lesbian love affair that was missing in the '90s edition of the cult classic.

When the series initially aired from 1995 to 2001, there was plenty of Sapphic subtext, but the studio was too worried about having two female characters in a full-on relationship to take things all the way.

This time around, Executive Producer Javier Grillo-Marxuach promises that best friends Xena and Gabrielle will be in a romantic relationship together.

The original Xena, Lucy Lawless, was on hand at TCA last week and came out in full support of a love affair between Xena and Gabrielle, even suggesting they take it a step further.

“Now they need to make them an interracial couple,” Lawless said. “Black Xena!”

She also mentioned that despite her support for the reboot, she hasn't been asked to participate in it.

“Listen, I don’t spend time — if somebody’s not interested in me, I don’t go begging,” the actress said. “I’ve got other things to do!”
