Xena the Warrior: 23 Years Later, What Happened to Adventure Series Icon Lucy Lawless?

Actress Lucy Lawless became a lesbian icon with her series Xena the Warrior, in which her character’s relationship with Gabrielle, played by Renee O’Connor, was (though never confirmed by the show’s creators) as a romantic relationship. But what happened to the New Zealand actor after his iconic series ended?

What did he do after Xena?

Xena ended in 2001 in the United States after 6 seasons and 134 episodes. Lucy Lawless appears in two episodes of season 9 of The X-Files, then plays the famous feral child’s aunt in Jane and Tarzan (2003), and is voiced by Stephen Kay on the big screen in Boogeyman: The Nightmare Gate (2005).

That same year, she appeared on Battlestar Galactica from Season 2 to the point where her character Anna Byers became important in Season 3 and appeared in Season 4!

After a brief slump in 2009-2010, she returned to the spotlight as Lucretia on Spartacus, tried comedy on Parks and Recreation, joined the Marvel Universe for two episodes of Agents of SHIELD, then moved on to Salem and Ash vs. Evil Dead, as well as Spartacus, produced by Sam Raimi, who gave him a small role in Spider-Man.

Since 2019, she has played Alexa Crowe, the protagonist of the detective series My Life is a Murderer, who investigates unsolved murder cases for the Melbourne Police.

The moon in his name!

Since 2009, he has been committed to the climate and became a Greenpeace ambassador on this topic. He continues the conversation by participating in environmental events, sometimes leading to arrests and punishments, notably hours of community service and fines.

Astronomer Michael Brown named the dwarf planet he discovered “Xena”. It was then renamed “Eris” and Brown deliberately named Eris’ moon Dysnomia, after the Greek goddess of Anomie.Illegality in English, so it always means an actor).

Xena, a character born in… Hercules!

In 1994, Kevin Sorbo played the famous demigod of Greek mythology in Hercules and the Amazons. Lucy Lawless plays the supporting role, Licia. When the TV movie spin-off series simply titled Hercules, still with Kevin Sorbo, Lawless was hired. She appears in Season 1, Episode 4, as two different characters: Lila and Xena. The latter is becoming very popular before getting its own series.
