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?

Very well done keep them coming.
Can’t wait for 2nd season, loved the first. I am a fan of ancient history, epics, etc. I thought this was done wonderfully after I got over the initial shock of the nudity, and sex. It is The Roman Empire, right?
I feel like a hype waiting for season 2. Im totally hooked!!! This series is by far the best. Andy Whitfield is a Super Hottie!! Hope he’s doing well. Love to the entire Spartacus cast!!

Love the series. It’s the best series I’ve ever seen. Totally addicted!
For those of us familiar with the “classic Spartacus” starring Kirk Douglas and a couple of other remakes, Blood and Sand Season 1 only tells part of the story! So, yes, we are definitely waiting for Season 2…impatiently! 🙂
Can’t wait for Season 2 to begin. Please don’t stop there. Season 3 and 4 and 5 would be most appreciative. Sorry to hear that the star of the show is ill.
Come on with season two Already!
I watch Three episodes the first night and the next evening I watched the rest of the episodes. When I realized that I had watched them all and could not find another on the guide, I was crushed. I am anticipating the start of season two and can’t wait for it to air.
For sure….i love this show…i do not usual watch tv shows, but this is by far is worth my time and money…keep it up…

Come with season two Already! I am definately not a TV watcher and usually spend most of my time cooking, cleaning, and working etc. I sat down one night looking for something to watch on demand and low and behold I came across Spartacus. That night I watch six episodes and did not get to sleep until 2:00 a.m. The next evening, I watch Three episodes and the next evening I watched the rest of the episodes. When I realized that I had watched them all and could not find another on the guide, I called the cable company immediately… Read more »
I really enjoy the dialog, the costumes and the wonderful acting. I’m amazed that the violence doesn’t bother me (too) much as it’s generally done in an artistic fashion, and I enjoy the movement sequences of the sword fighting (whatever that’s called). It’s suspenseful! I love the wicked characters and of course, I love the honorable ones even more.
Please hurry up and get seasons 2,3 and 4 and 5 and 6 …… out pronto as Im getting the T.D shakes…..URGENT!!!!
love the show!!one of the best of all times!!
