The gladiator drama will premiere with back-to-back episodes and be available to stream weekly on Fridays beginning December 5, only on the STARZ app and all STARZ streaming and on-demand platforms.

The photos spotlights Nick E. Tarabay (Spartacus, The Expanse), who reprises his role as Ashur, Graham McTavish (The Witcher, House of the Dragon) as Korris, Tenika Davis (Jupiter’s Legacy, Cabinet of Curiosities) as Achillia, and Jordi Webber (Choose Love, Prosper) as Tarchon, along with an extended cast of gladiators, nobility, villains, champions, and backstabbers all eager to get ahead in the cutthroat world of Ancient Rome.

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 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 and Webber, the cast members featured in the new photos 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, Jackson Gallagher as Caesar, Jaime Slater as Cornelia, 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, as well as two additional chapters, Spartacus: Vengeance in 2012 and Spartacus: War of the Damned in 2013.
