Spartacus: House of Ashur - Q&A with the Fans of Spartacus

Spartacus fans and audience members also got to participate and ask their own questions about the show, the process and what it takes to be Ashur himself.

Season One of “Spartacus: House of Ashur” debuts December 5, 2025, with a special two- episode premiere. New episodes will be available to stream weekly on Fridays only on the STARZ app, all STARZ streaming and on-demand platforms, in addition to its linear debut.

“Spartacus: House of Ashur” is a thrilling, erotic, history-bending, roller-coaster experience that builds on everything that made the original series a colossal hit. What if Ashur lived, and the Romans rewarded his treachery with the gladiator school where he once bled? Welcome to the House of Ashur. No longer a slave, Ashur has clawed his way to power, owning the same ludus that once owned him. But ruling a band of merciless gladiators is child's play compared to surviving the savage world of Roman politics — a cutthroat game in which betrayal isn’t a sin, it’s currency. Flipping tradition on its head, Ashur unleashes Achillia, a fierce and powerful gladiatrix eager to prove herself worthy in a man’s world. Together, they ignite a new kind of spectacle that shocks, disrupts, and offends the elite with every drop of blood.

Spartacus: House of Ashur cast includes Nick E. Tarabay (Ashur), Graham McTavish (Korris), Tenika Davis (Achillia), Jordi Webber (Tarchon), Jamaica Vaughan (Hilara), Ivana Baquero (Messia), Claudia Black (Cossutia), India Shaw-Smith (Viridia), Leigh Gill (Satyrus), Jackson Gallagher (Julius Caesar), and Jaime Slater (Cornelia), with Steven S. DeKnight returning as the Showrunner and Executive Producer.
