Spartacus: House of Ashur Debuts Bloody Teaser at SDCC
STARZ 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), Tenika Davis (Jupiter’s Legacy), Graham McTavish (The Witcher), Jamaica Vaughan (Home and Away), Jordi Webber (Choose Love), and Jaime Slater (Jupiter’s Legacy), 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.
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. The original series, Spartacus, and all subsequent chapters are available on the STARZ app.
Spartacus creator, writer, and executive producer Steven S. DeKnight (Daredevil) serves as showrunner and executive producer on Spartacus: House of Ashur.
Rick Jacobson (Dark City: The Cleaner, The Royal Treatment) and Aaron Helbing (The Flash”, Mortal Kombat: Legacy) also serve as executive producers. Spartacus: House of Ashur is produced by Lionsgate Television for STARZ.
