Santa Monica, Calif. - September 25, 2025 - STARZ (NASDAQ: STRZ) announced the premiere date for the history-bending "Spartacus: House of Ashur," the next chapter in the legendary world of "Spartacus." The boldly outrageous gladiator drama will premiere with back-to-back episodes and be available to stream weekly on Fridays beginning December 5, only on the STARZ app, and all STARZ streaming and on-demand platforms. A newly released gallery of images accompanied the announcement, delivering a thrilling new look at the series, capturing the intensity, passion and fierce rivalries at the heart of the story. The imagery spotlights Nick E. Tarabay ("Spartacus," "The Expanse"), who reprises his role as "Ashur," Graham McTavish ("The Witcher," "House of the Dragon") as "Korris," Tenika Davis ("Jupiter's Legacy," Cabinet of Curiosities)" as "Achillia," and Jordi Webber (Choose Love, "Prosper") as "Tarchon," along with an extended cast of gladiators, nobility, villains, champions and backstabbers all eager to get ahead in the cutthroat world of Ancient Rome.

"Spartacus: House of Ashur" is a thrilling, erotic, history-bending, roller-coaster experience that builds on everything that made the original series a colossal hit. What if Ashur had lived, and the Romans rewarded his treachery with the gladiator school where he once bled? Welcome to the House of Ashur. No longer a slave, Ashur has clawed his way to power, owning the same ludus that once owned him. But ruling a band of merciless gladiators is child's play compared to surviving the savage world of Roman politics - a cutthroat game in which betrayal isn't a sin, it's currency. He flips tradition on its head by unleashing Achillia, a fierce and powerful gladiatrix eager to prove herself worthy in a man's world. Together, they ignite a new kind of spectacle that shocks, disrupts and offends the elite with every drop of blood.

In addition to Tarabay, McTavish, Davis and Webber, cast featured in the new gallery images includes Jamaica Vaughan ("Home and Away," "800 Words") as "Hilara," Ivana Baquero (Pan's Labyrinth, "The Shannara Chronicles") as "Messia," Claudia Black ("The Nevers," "Ahsoka") as "Cossutia," India Shaw-Smith (The Pines Still Whisper, "Supernatural") as "Viridia," Jackson Gallagher as "Caesar," Jaime Slater as "Cornelia," and Leigh Gill (Joker, "Game of Thrones") as "Satyrus."

The original series, "Spartacus," and all subsequent chapters are available on the STARZ app. Catch up now on STARZ ahead of the premiere of "Spartacus: House of Ashur." "Spartacus: Blood and Sand" debuted on STARZ in 2010 and was followed by the prequel series chapter "Spartacus: Gods of the Arena" in 2011, and two additional chapters, "Spartacus: Vengeance" in 2012 and "Spartacus: War of the Damned" in 2013.
