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?

One of the best series i’ve seen. Can’t wait until 2nd season
This is awesome!!!!! a series that is over the top and long overdue! season one was terrific can’t wait for season two !!!
I watched the first two epasodes before they were aired and was dissapointed in how the special effects were done. It is more like a cartoon than a real life real people show. It is so easy to see that most of the work is done in fromt of a green screen and then the scenery is filled in later. Good spcial effects such as scenery should be more realistic so it givese some believability to the show. As a cartoon it works fairly well but not anything special. Sorry Lusy Lawless ever had anything to do wit that series… Read more »

I can’t wait for Season 2, it will be exciting . I know that,that’s a fact.
This show is AWESOME. My husband and I love this show. It has everything….revenge, betrayal, lust, honor…. and the list goes on and on. The special effects are awesome. I just hope Spartacus come back for a second season. Too many times I have gotten into a series and it gets cancelled.
Looking for Ashur and Glaber, Ashur must pay the price

Fantastic show for the year 2010. Spartacus – Blood and Sand as the sensual nature, the fight scenes depict what the people in the past as to go through. Scandals, hypocrisy, the exploitation of female slaves and the lust for power by Domina.
By far the best series on television. Please keep them coming this makes my hands sweat with anticipation.
