EXCLUSIVE: Starz's return to the Spartacus universe with House of Ashur begs the question: What if Ashur (Nick Tarabay) hadn't died on Mount Vesuvius at the end of Spartacus: Vengeance, but instead had been given the Ludus of Batiatus in exchange for his help in killing Spartacus and ending the slave revolt?

The answer comes in the premiere episode via OG Queen Bee Lucretia, as Lucy Lawless makes her guest appearance and “elevates” everything around her. Her appearance will be instrumental in setting up the “what if” alternate timeline.
In addition to Tarabay, the series will also star Graham McTavish, Tenika Davis, Jamaica Vaughan, Ivana Baquero, Jordi Webber, Claudia Black, India Shaw-Smith and Leigh Gill.
Spartacus creator, writer and executive producer Steven S. DeKnight returns to the franchise he helped create as showrunner and executive producer of Spartacus: House of Asher, a new original series that Starz describes as a "history-bending, erotic, thrilling, rollercoaster experience that builds on everything that made the original series a colossal hit."
