“Spartacus: House of Ashur” has fin an official premiere date.
Starz has announced that the sequel series will debut with its first two episodes on December 5.
New episodes will be be available to stream weekly on Fridays thereafter, only on the Starz app, and all Starz streaming and on-demand platforms.
In addition, Starz has released a series of new first-look images for the series.
The official logline for the series reads: “What if Ashur (Nick E. Tarabay) 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 (Tenika Davis), 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.”
Along with Tarabay and Davis, the cast of the series includes Graham McTavish as Korris, Jordi Webber as Tarchon, 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” creator, writer and executive producer Steven S. DeKnight serves as showrunner and executive producer on “House of Ashur.”
