Starz has set a December 5, 2025 premiere date for the Spartacus spinoff, Spartacus: House of Ashur. The new series explores Ashur’s life if he hadn’t been decapitated by Naevia in Spartacus: Vengeance.
The series will kick off with the release of two episodes, followed by new episodes on subsequent Fridays.
Nick E. Tarabay reprises his role as Ashur, Graham McTavish stars as Korris, Tenika Davis plays Achillia, and Jordi Webber stars as Tarchon. The ensemble also includes Jamaica Vaughan as Hilara, Ivana Baquero as Messia, Claudia Black as Cossutia, India Shaw-Smith as Viridia, Jackson Gallagher as Caesar, Jaime Slater as Cornelia, and Leigh Gill as Satyrus.
“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,” reads Starz’s synopsis. “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 creator Steven S. DeKnight serves as writer, executive producer, and showrunner. Additional executive producers include Rick Jacobson and Aaron Helbing.
