“Spartacus: House of Ashur” revives the intense and gripping atmosphere of the original series, focusing on Ashur, a character who navigates the tumultuous world of Ancient Roman politics following the dramatic events at Mount Vesuvius. The storyline reimagines Ashur’s journey from former gladiator to the owner of the ludus, which he now commands with ambition and cunning. Fans can expect the hallmark elements of the franchise, including action, political intrigue, and the series’ signature blend of sexuality and violence.
Once again, Steven S. DeKnight returns as the creator, writer, and showrunner. Nick E. Tarabay reprises his role as Ashur, facing new challenges in a ruthless political landscape. An exciting addition to the narrative is Achillia, a formidable gladiatrix who looks to redefine the boundaries of power and ambition in ancient Rome alongside Ashur. Their partnership promises to challenge societal norms and create provocative spectacles that will intrigue the elite of Rome.
For fans eager to brush up on the previous saga or newcomers looking to dive into this gripping universe, all four chapters of the original “Spartacus” series— “Blood and Sand,” “Gods of the Arena,” “Vengeance,” and “War of the Damned”—are available for streaming on the STARZ app and other STARZ platforms.
