Written by John Edward Betancourt

It is definitely safe to say, that television fans everywhere… love to see cast members from shows gone by, reunite in something new. In part because it elicits a sense of wondrous nostalgia, since we are reminded as to why we love those particular actors int the first place, but also because… having old friends reunite on the screen is simply an electric experience. Since they had incredible chemistry in the first place, the kind that glued us to our sets on a weekly basis and well, it just so happens that a big reunion between two beloved actors from a beloved show is drawing near.

For earlier today, Acorn TV announced that Lucy Lawless will share the screen with her Xena: Warrior Princess co-star Renee O’Connor in season two of My Life is Murder and well, this is about as epic and as awesome as it gets. For they were a perfect on-screen duo and played off of one another in a magical fashion and well, rather than ramble on… here are the details on this reunion, alongside some updated details for season two of this magnificent series, courtesy of Acorn TV.

Acorn TV’s ‘My Life is Murder’ is reuniting Lucy Lawless with her former castmate from the iconic ‘Xena: Warrior Princess’ series, Renee O’Connor, in season two, which premieres on AMC Networks’ acclaimed streaming service Acorn TV on Monday, August 30. In an upcoming episode of the hit New Zealand mystery series, Alexa (Lawless) investigates the death of a self-help guru and finds herself in a cat-and-mouse game with the victim’s mysterious wife (O’Connor).

Season two will reunite Lucy with several former castmates from her most iconic series, including Anna Hutchison (‘Spartacus’), Graham Vincent (‘Spartacus’), Jay Ryan (‘Beauty and The Beast’, ‘It Chapter Two’, ‘Mary Kills People’) and Bruce Hopkins (‘Lord of the Rings’, ‘Xena: Warrior Princess’), as well as an array of previously announced guest stars including William Shatner (‘Star Trek’, ‘Haven’), Martin Henderson (‘Grey’s Anatomy’, ‘The Gloaming’), Michelle Ang (‘Fear the Walking Dead’, ‘Triple 9’), Sara Wiseman (‘A Place to Call Home’, ‘Rake’), Bill Bailey (‘Black Books’, ‘Spaced’), Matt Whelan (‘Narcos: Mexico’, ‘The Sounds’) and popular drag performers Kita Mean and Amanduh La Whore.

Alexa finds herself back in her home country of New Zealand for the first time in years and can’t help herself when she is asked to look into a bizarre unsolved murder. Joined again by her partner-in-crime-solving, Madison Feliciano (Ebony Vagulans), as well as series newcomers including the charismatic detective Harry (Rawiri Jobe) and café owner Reuben (Joe Naufahu), she quickly finds herself investigating other murder mysteries in surprising, glamorous worlds filled with intriguing characters who are hiding dangerous and deadly secrets.

If anything, this reunion is proof positive that season two of this series, is going to be nothing short of spectacular. Since Lucy and Renee will undoubtedly provide us with more incredible performances and memorable moments and well, all today’s announcement does, is make the wait for season two of this series about as difficult as it gets and we here at Nerds That Geek, cannot wait for August 30, 2021, to get here. So, we can indulge in a brand-new case and a grand reunion between two ridiculously talented actors.
