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?

I think that this was the BEST Season Finale in ALL of Television History. I have not seen anything like it on television. The show was Brilliant and the ending was fabulous. I hope that Andy has Great results from his removal of cancer because Spartacus counts on him. He is a wonderful actor and freakin’ good looking too. I wish him well, a speedy recovery, and let’s get back to making Spartacus Season 2. And those of you that do not know what is going to happen……just go to Wikipedia and read the “TRUE” story of Spartacus. It basically… Read more »
I thought the show was great, but the ending speech should have been cut; it did not fit.
They should have grabbed weapons, and anything else they could carry, going out of the gate as warriors; and then they would be ready for Spartacus II.
