![]() Sadly, that isn't the case, and while the six-episode prequel is still in production, Starz hasn't announced any plans regarding the continuation of the original series. When Starz first learned of Whitfield's cancer, they made plans to shoot a prequel season called 'Spartacus: Gods of the Arena,' hoping by the time they finished that their star would be feeling better. I mention this at the start of this review, because a change like this, involving one of the main actors, never bodes well for a TV series. He must become a legend.Īndy Whitfield, star of the gory Starz Roman drama, 'Spartacus: Blood and Sand,' has had to bow out of the role he so boldly embodies. To survive, he must become more than a man, more than a gladiator. Treachery, corruption and the allure of sensual pleasures will constantly test him and his masters.Īgainst all odds, Spartacus’ rebellious instincts, his intense love for his wife Sura (Erin Cummings) and his powerful fighting skills drive him to win a series of near-impossible battles – setting in motion a revolution against the tyranny of Rome. ![]() But not all battles are fought upon the sands. He is condemned to the brutal world of the arena where blood and death are primetime entertainment. ![]() He is forced to fight daily for his life against deadly foes, under the brutal whip of trainer Doctore (Mensah). Torn from his homeland and the woman he loves, Spartacus (Whitfield), a Thracian warrior captured by Romans, is enslaved into a gladiator training school owned by Batiatus (Hannah) and his wife Lucretia (Lawless). “SPARTACUS: BLOOD AND SAND” was inspired by the actual slave of the Roman Republic, who in 73 BC led a slave revolt that grew to more than 120,000 fighters.
