Spartacus: House of Ashur Red Band Trailer Unveiled
STARZ has released the Red Band trailer and key art for Spartacus: House of Ashur, the outrageous new chapter in the world of Spartacus, debuting with a two-episode premiere on Friday, December 5. New episodes will stream weekly on Fridays on the STARZ app and all STARZ streaming and on-demand platforms.
In this reimagined world, where power, passion, and destiny unite in an unforgettable new story, viewers are thrust back into the brutality of Ancient Rome with the shocking resurrection of the once-defeated Ashur, played by Nick E. Tarabay (Spartacus, The Expanse), who now returns as “Dominus,” the master of his own House.
Fueled by vengeance and cunning ambition, Ashur rises from betrayal and bloodshed to seize power, gouging out a place for the House of Ashur in a new arena full of violence, desire, and twisted loyalty.
The trailer teases fierce new players in Ashur’s world, including his battle-hardened gladiator trainer Korris, played by Graham McTavish (The Witcher, House of the Dragon); relentless gladiatrix Achillia, played by Tenika Davis (Jupiter’s Legacy, Cabinet of Curiosities); and the ambitious Tarchon, played by Jordi Webber (Choose Love, Prosper).
Expanding the Roman stage, Julius Caesar, played by Jackson Gallagher (My Life Is Murder, NCIS: Sydney), and his wife, Cornelia, played by Jaime Slater (Daredevil, Pacific Rim: Uprising), join the cast of gladiators, nobles, villains, and schemers all vying for power in a world where blood and lust are the ultimate weapons.
Spartacus: House of Ashur is a thrilling, erotic, and 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, Webber, Gallagher and Slater, cast members featured in the trailer include 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, and Leigh Gill (Joker, Game of Thrones) as Satyrus.
The original series, Spartacus, and all subsequent chapters are available on the STARZ app. Spartacus: Blood and Sand debuted on STARZ in 2010 and was followed by the prequel series, Spartacus: Gods of the Arena, in 2011, and two additional chapters, Spartacus: Vengeance in 2012 and Spartacus: War of the Damned in 2013.
