Spartacus: Gods of the Arena

Spartacus: Gods of the Arena is a Starz TV miniseries starring Dustin Clare, Lucy Lawless, John Hannah, and Andy Whitfield in a prequel to the hugely successful gladiator drama Spartacus: Blood and Sand. This miniseries event features just as much exciting Gladiator action as Blood and Sand, but this time around the story follows Gannicus (Clare), the skilled warrior who became the first ever Champion of Capua. John Hannah and Lucy Lawless reprise their roles as Batiatus and his wife, Lucretia. The talented cast also includes Peter Mensah as Oenomaus, Manu Bennett as Crixus, and Antonio Te Maioha as Barca. This series began as a single flashback sequence from Blood and Sand, a brief scene whose characters were so compelling that the creators decided to devote another miniseries to the story of Gannicus alone. Spartacus: Gods of the Arena is an intense action drama full of Gladiator action and tough characters, a must-see for fans of the original Spartacus miniseries. MORE
