Feast your eyes on the new Aussie dramas coming to our screens in 2019

MY LIFE IS MURDER

Where to watch: 10

Who’s in it: Former Xena: Warrior Princess, Ash vs Evil Dead, Salem and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D star Lucy Lawless plays investigator Alexa Crowe.

What’s it about: Whether she’s solving murders or combatting the small, niggly frustrations of everyday life, Alexa cannot help fighting the good fight. Fearless and unapologetic, Alexa’s also brilliant, insightful and totally unfiltered, “making her a rare breed of TV hero,” says Ten’s head of drama Rick Maier. “The 10-part series is in production in Melbourne. She doesn’t give a damn how she solves the crime or who she offends in the process, as she gets the job done.”

Australian SFX Magazine 5 Dec 2018: Lucy Lawless Xena in Xena Warrior Princess

Australian SFX Magazine 5 December 2018

At a time when people are celebrating female icons, many are looking back at Xena as a groundbreaking show for female empowerment. “The #MeToo era is the perfect time to bring back Xena and Gabrielle to set the world to rights!” says Lucy Lawless, who played Xena from 1995 to 2001 and has starred in Battlestar Galactica and Ash V Evil Dead. now Lawless is about to produce and star in new Australian TV drama My Life Is Murder where, she happily reveals, “there will be no blood and guts” – for once!

Would you like to play the role of Xena again?

I would in a one-off. I wouldn’t do the lifestyle again – I couldn’t! That’s for someone young and hungry. I’m always rolling my eyes when there’s an action component in something I’m doing now because I’m so bored with it. But I’d do a limited thing.

What would Xena be doing if she was around now?

I like to think she’d be a special prosecutor!

Did you keep any set souvenirs?

Not so much Xena stuff. With Xena I think everything was pretty trashed by the end. I might have a few weapons – I’ll let the kids duke it out with them!

What would it say on Xena’s gravestone?

I don’t really want to channel Arnie, but, “I’ll be back!” Every character I’ve ever played always comes back. “Not resting in peace!”

8 Reasons Why Horror Ruled TV in 2018 Including Ash Vs Evil Dead

Image636818573391284185io9 had 8 Reasons Why Horror Ruled TV in 2018 and Ash Vs Evil Dead was one of them:

Ash vs. Evil Dead ended its three-season run this year—a bummer made even more potent when horror icon Bruce Campbell announced the series finale would be the last time he’d ever play Ash Williams, a character he’d embodied since the first Evil Dead movie in 1981. But just because we won’t get any groovy new Ash adventures doesn’t take anything away from the joy that Ash vs.

Evil Dead brought to TV screens this year—and by joy, I mean gut-sloshingly gory horror delights. Season three saw Ash reconnect with the teenage daughter he never realized he had, as he and the “Ghostbeaters” did their chainsaw-swinging best to keep Deadites out of Ash’s Michigan hometown (and the world at large, really).

After briefly becoming a “good” version of herself in season two, Lucy Lawless’ Ruby reverted to maximum malevolence, giving birth to yet another version of Bad Ash to torment our hero as part of a grand scheme to rip the universe apart. While it would’ve been cool to see the show continue, especially since it ended on a very Army of Darkness-evoking cliffhanger…we’ll always treasure what Ash vs. Evil Dead was able to accomplish, even if we often had to watch it while peeking between our fingers.

Message From Lucy Lawless On Her Health

Wishing Lucy Lawless a speedy recovery. Getting hit in the head and concussion is a big deal. Lucy's taking a time out from all commitments - not sure if that includes My Life is Murder series which was due to start filming but that's not important. Her health is far more important than a tv show. Speedy recovery Lucy.
