It’s been a long time since we’ve enjoyed a fresh series from the world of Spartacus and understandably so. After all, the original STARZ shows had run their course and came to their proper conclusions. So, it truly seemed as though the saga was complete. But alas, there were still more stories from this universe to tell, as evidenced by the exciting announcement that STARZ had greenlit a new chapter in this saga; Spartacus: House of Ashur. A thrilling return to this world and a magnificent reunion with a beloved character.
​
Which was news that truly ignited everyone’s imagination and of course, left us wondering what we could expect from this new show and when we could potentially see it and return to this incredible world that has always captivated us. Well, at long last, both questions can be answered. Since recently, STARZ announced that this series will debut later this year in the fall, and… they even released a teaser trailer for the show. One that we will share with you now, so you can properly prepare for your return to Ashur’s world and the madness of an era gone by.

‘STARZ has released the first look at its upcoming action-packed gladiator drama “Spartacus: House of Ashur” with a teaser trailer that gives fans an early peek at the highly anticipated next chapter in the “Spartacus” franchise set to premiere this Fall. Nick Tarabay reprises his role as the infamous Ashur in this epic new saga which re-imagines possibilities and turns of fate from the original fan-favorite series. Outlander’s Graham McTavish will co-star as Korris, Ashur’s Doctore, and Tenika Davis as Achillia, a fierce gladiatrix, with Steven S. DeKnight also continuing to helm the world of “Spartacus” as executive producer and showrunner.
 
“Spartacus: House of Ashur” will be a history-bending, erotic, thrilling, roller-coaster experience that builds on everything that made the original series a colossal hit. The series poses the question: what if Ashur, hadn’t died on Mount Vesuvius at the end of “Spartacus: Vengeance?” And what if he had been gifted the gladiator school once owned by Batiatus in return for aiding the Romans in killing Spartacus and putting an end to the slave rebellion?
 
“Spartacus: Blood and Sand” debuted on STARZ in 2010 and was followed by a prequel series chapter “Spartacus: Gods of the Arena” in 2011 and two additional series “Spartacus: Vengeance” in 2012 and “Spartacus: War of the Damned” in 2013. “Spartacus” creator, writer and executive producer Steven S. DeKnight (“Daredevil”) serves as showrunner and executive producer. Rick Jacobson and Aaron Helbing also serve as executive producers. “Spartacus: House of Ashur” is produced by Lionsgate Television for STARZ.
