About Lexx

The series is a Canadian/German co-production, with some additional funding from Britain's Channel Five. Because it was not made for a US network it includes a lot more sexual innuendo (and, at least in the early episodes, nudity) than US audiences are generally accustomed to seeing. As of 2002, the show was intermittently shown on the SciFi Channel; currently, it is regularly shown on Showcase.

LEXX was co-produced by Salter Street Films, later absorbed by Alliance Atlantis. The series was filmed in Berlin (Germany), Halifax (Nova Scotia), Canada, Iceland, Bangkok (Thailand) and Namibia.

The crew of the Lexx is motivated largely by fear, lust, and hunger — factors which gradually came to dominate the story-lines more and more, eventually making LEXX famous for its sexual themes and often bizarre story-lines. Each episode in the later series takes the crew through another stage of their journey through chaotic, hostile universes without any legitimate authority while exploring the relationships between the protagonists and their individual histories.

The crew of the Lexx includes:
Stanley H. Tweedle (Brian Downey) Security guard 4th class, agent of a failed rebellion, and captain of the Lexx.
Zev/Xev Bellringer of planet B3K, a half cluster lizard, renegade love slave. Played by Eva Habermann (as Zev) in the first season, and Xenia Seeberg (as Xev) thereafter.
790 (Jeffrey Hirschfield), a robot head that received the love slave programming meant for Zev, first loving Zev, then in later series, Kai.
Kai (Michael McManus), last of the Brunnen G, an emotionless, undead Divine Assassin.
The Lexx itself (voiced by Tom Gallant), with which Stanley regularly interacts.
