The New XENA Will Likely Explore the Much Speculated Romance of the Original

Looks like fans of Xena will finally be getting what they want with the new series! THR is reporting that Javier Grillo-Marxuach, writer of the new series set for NBC, will explore a romantic relationship between Xena and Gabrielle! The original '90s series also explored this topic, but because it was the '90s it was mostly implied with no real overt romance showing. It was more like a sisterly thing if you check out the video below...

This brings up the question of whether Xena will be lesbian or bisexual. In the original series, if you were someone who subscribed to the low-key Gabrielle stuff, you would think she's clearly bi. Ultimately, it doesn't matter. Hopefully this retelling holds up to the quality of the original!
