Surprising decision after the huge success of Wonder Woman. Feels like a logical property to reboot right now.

That's actually a good point. Xena does seem like a good franchise to pull out of storage and give a fresh coat of paint.

I wonder if there's some pre-existing universe on TV right now it could be bootstrapped into? It was originally a Hercules spinoff, so it's been done before.

It just doesn't feel like a network show, and might be better suited for TBS or USA, or perhaps streaming.
