Boldly telling the story of the world’s greatest gladiator, STARZ has opted to go where no other has with the outrageously bloody SPARTACUS: VENGEANCE. In this second season opener, a brothel bloodbath leads to the exposure of several secrets. Created for STARZ by STEVEN DeKNIGHT, the cast includes LIAM McINTYRE (brought in to replace the late ANDY WHITFIELD as Spartacus), LUCY LAWLESS, MANU BENNETT, JOHN HANNAH, PETER MENSAH and NICK TARABAY.

At the recent Television Critics Association press event to promote the new season, McINTYRE recalled the day news of WHITFIELD’S death hit the set. (CLICK ON THE MEDIA BAR FOR AUDIO)
