Starz certainly has a lot of faith in their new Spartacus series. They’ve ordered a second season before a single episode has even aired.
The first season of the series, titled Spartacus: Blood and Sand, is set to kick off on January 22nd on the pay-for-view channel. The show revolves around the classic gladiator and stars newcomer Andy Whitfield as the title character. The show also stars Antonio Te Maioha, Craig Parker, Erin Cummings, Lucy Lawless, Manu Bennett, Nick E. Tarabay, and Peter Mensah.
“We couldn’t be happier with the first season. Spartacus delivers on all levels — action, characters, intrigue, romance and excitement,” said Starz Entertainment EVP, Programming, Stephan Shelanski. “Spartacus is the most ambitious original project we’ve ever undertaken, and speaks to the commitment to our subscribers to provide truly original programming along with our unmatched lineup of theatrical features.”
Season two of Spartacus will likely be titled Spartacus: Vengeance but all of the story details are being kept under wraps so as not to spoil season one. The second season will be comprised of 13 installments and shooting is scheduled to begin in the next few months in New Zealand.
What do you think? Are you looking forward to the Spartacus series?

This show is so amazing I cant wait to watch seasons 1, grande finale tonight! I love Leslie Ann Brandt and I hope Shes is found in the near future of season two if not tonight. the drama is great, the actors are doing a terrific job with their roles and I laugh my ass off over and over at work reciting the lines.

This show is awesome…don’t change a thing, I can never wait till fridays, so I always watch it Thursday night at midnight!! Can’t wait untill tonight. Season one finale is going to be the ****!!
It’s a shame Andy got ill, hope his recovery comes very quick since I’m SO LOOKING FORWARD ON SEEING THE ENTIRE THRILL DONE.
I’m a big fan of “The Tudors” and hated the fact it’s never being completed.
THIS IS THE BEST TV SHOW I’VE EVER SEEN.
Best plot, best cast, amazing cutting edge special effect.
DON’T KILL IT!
I really like the spartacus story, the porn in it is uncalled for, the story will stand with out it. To me all the sex scenes show the writters dont believe in thier story .
Me and my husband love Spartacus: Blood and Sand. We are so hooked, we can barely wait until Friday night to watch it. We look so forward to it all week. It just keeps on getting better and better every episode. Yes there is alot of blood and there is alot of sex and it is just the way we like it. Certainly not for the squeamish. Andy plays the best Spartacus EVER!!!!!! Can’t wait for season 2.
this show is awesome; can’t wait for seaon two
this show is totally AWESOME! And it’s getting better and better!
I watched all 10 episodes of the first season in 2 days!! LOVE IT!!
this show is great i find myself disappointed when the show is over and cant wait for the next episode. i cant wait to see if there is going to be a revolt how great would that be
Wow. I try not to make plans friday night just so i can watch Spartacus.
I love this show; amazing.
I will definately watch season two especially if it’s with the same characters.
Its CRAZY!!!!!! Can’t wait for the next episode.
I was waiting for Spartacus: Blood and Sand come on since it was first advertised but I have mixed feelings about the way the show was filmed. I don’t like the 3oo look of the show and all the blood it shows. I think the show can do it without the 300 look and a little less blood. To me if anyone would get hit the way they do in the show you would be dead and not hurt. Otherwise I like the show.
Saw the preview last night! OMG! This series is unlike anything I have ever seen! My newest guilty pleasure!
My husband and I are pretty amped about this series. In fact the reason I found this page was in an effort to see when the show airs. It may be a bit passe because it is so similar to 300 but I thought that movie (videography / soundtrack) rocked.
