Thirteen years ago, Ashur (Nick E. Tarabay) died in Spartacus: Vengeance. But, like, what if he didn’t?
That’s pretty much the premise for new series Spartacus: House of Ashur, which we now know will premiere on Starz with its first two episodes on Dec. 5.
Steven S. DeKnight is back behind his Spartacus shield for Starz with Spartacus: House of Ashur, the fifth series in the franchise. He’ll also showrun this one, which again hails from Lionsgate Television.
