SPARTACUS: HOUSE OF ASHUR Trailer Rewrites History With a Vicious and Bloody New Legacy
The arena is opening once again, and this time the stakes are even higher. STARZ has dropped the first trailer for Spartacus: House of Ashur during San Diego Comic-Con, and it’s packed with everything fans crave from this franchise… brutal battles, raw power plays, and a interesting reimagining of a fan-favorite character's fate.
Set in an alternate timeline, the new series flips the script on Spartacus: Vengeance. Instead of meeting a violent end on Mount Vesuvius, Ashur, played once again by Nick Tarabay, survives and thrives. In this twist-heavy take, he's rewarded by the Romans for betraying the rebellion and is given control of the late Batiatus’s gladiator school.
House of Ashur reshapes the narrative path carved by Spartacus: War of the Damned, creating a new mythology that promises ten episodes of history-bending, erotic, high-stakes drama. It’s not just a continuation, it's a provocative "what if" scenario brought to life, and it's bloody as ever.
The show will dive deep into Ashur’s dark ambition and twisted thirst for power, unleashing a fresh slate of gladiators and treachery in the sand-soaked pits of Capua. Fans of the original series can expect all the ferocity and grit that made it iconic, now pushed into even more unpredictable territory.
Spartacus: House of Ashur premieres this fall on Starz.
