Here’s a synopsis: Spartacus: House of Ashur is a thrilling, erotic, history-bending, roller-coaster experience that builds on everything that made the original series a colossal hit. What if Ashur had lived, and the Romans rewarded his treachery with the gladiator school where he once bled? Welcome to the House of Ashur. No longer a slave, Ashur has clawed his way to power, owning the same ludus that once owned him. But ruling a band of merciless gladiators is child’s play compared to surviving the savage world of Roman politics — a cutthroat game in which betrayal isn’t a sin, it’s currency. He flips tradition on its head by unleashing Achillia, a fierce and powerful gladiatrix eager to prove herself worthy in a man’s world. Together, they ignite a new kind of spectacle that shocks, disrupts and offends the elite with every drop of blood.
Nick E Tarabay reprises his role as Ashur, and is joined by Graham McTavish as Korris, Tenika Davis as the franchise’s first female gladiator Achillia, and Jordi Webber as Tarchon.
Also featured in the cast and the new photos include Jamaica Vaughan as Hilara, Ivana Baquero as Messia, Claudia Black as Cossutia, India Shaw-Smith as Viridia, Jackson Gallagher as Caesar, Jaime Slater as Cornelia, and Leigh Gill as Satyrus.
Spartacus: House of Ashur will debut on December 5th with the first two episodes on Starz, followed by new episodes weekly. Episodes will also be available to stream on the Starz app and Starz streaming and on-demand platforms.
