DESCRIPTION:
(from Starz's press release, July 2025) STARZ (NASDAQ: STRZ) announced a Winter debut for its epic gladiator drama, "Spartacus: House of Ashur," with a fiery new teaser trailer released during a panel today at San Diego Comic-Con. The action-packed teaser primed fans for the much-anticipated next chapter in the "Spartacus" franchise, led by executive producer and showrunner Steven S. DeKnight ("Daredevil"). Joining DeKnight on the San Diego Comic-Con panel was the show's cast, including, Nick E. Tarabay ("Spartacus," "The Expanse"), Tenika Davis ("Jupiter's Legacy," Cabinet of Curiosities), Graham McTavish ("The Witcher," "House of the Dragon"), Jamaica Vaughan ("Home and Away," "800 Words"), Jordi Webber (Choose Love, "Prosper"), and Jaime Slater ("Jupiter's Legacy," Pacific Rim: Uprising), with Liam McIntyre ("Spartacus: Vengeance," "Spartacus: War of the Damned"), who played the role of "Spartacus" in previous chapters, moderating. "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 he 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. |
