Xena Reboot happening after all, NBC Entertainment chairman confirms (OP Updated)

[Rafie]

It would be hard for me to see Lucy not play Xena. I was a HUGE fan of both Hercules and Xena during my high school years. I never missed an episode. Every Sunday. I even watched Young Hercules.

Anyway, I think the series could still be good without her. However, I'm really bummed that Kevin Smith won't be playing Ares. His untimely death put a damper on things. Ares helped make both Hercules and Xena great shows. Love his interaction with both characters. Kevin knocked that role out the park. I wonder who would play Ares now.
