Spartacus: House of Ashur
Status: Premieres 18 May 2026 | Type: Series | Rating: 18+
In an alternate timeline where the cunning Syrian survived the events of the original series, Ashur has clawed his way to power and now owns the very ludus that once enslaved him. Nick E. Tarabay returns as the scheming gladiator-turned-lanista, alongside Graham McTavish and Tenika Davis. Created by Steven S. DeKnight, this prequel explores how Ashur allies with a fierce gladiatrix to create a new kind of spectacle that offends Rome's elite. The series promises the same brutal arena action and political intrigue that made the original Spartacus a cult phenomenon.
Spartacus: House of Ashur streams on StarzPlay from 18 May 2026.
