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.

In addition to Tarabay, McTavish, Davis, Webber and Vaughan cast featured in the new gallery images includes Ivana Baquero (Pan’s Labyrinth) as Messia, Claudia Black (The Nevers) as Cossutia, India Shaw-Smith (The Pines Still Whisper) as Viridia, Jackson Gallagher as Caesar, Jaime Slater as Cornelia, and Leigh Gill (Game of Thrones) as Satyrus.
