Spoiler Warning: The following article contains spoilers for the "Spartacus: House of Ashur" premiere. Please exercise extreme caution…
After what seems like years of waiting for it to happen, "Spartacus: House of Ashur" has finally arrived on the 2025 TV schedule, and I’m hooked! The new Starz original series, which offers a big what-if scenario for one of the franchise’s most divisive characters, kicked off with one hell of an opening sequence that included a brief yet intriguing cameo that longtime fans will surely enjoy.
In the premiere episode, Nick E. Tarabay’s Ashur, who was decapitated on "Spartacus: Vengeance," is visited by the spectre of Lucretia, the cunning wife of his former master. So, when I caught up with series creator Steven S. DeKnight and Tarabay, I had to ask about getting Lucy Lawless to reprise her iconic role.
