Starz’s Spartacus: House of Ashur starring Nick Tarabay has added 12 guest stars to its cast. The much-anticipated new addition to the Spartacus franchise is in production in New Zealand, with Spartacus creator, writer, and executive producer Steven S. DeKnight guiding the series as showrunner.
“Spartacus: House of Ashur will be a history-bending, erotic, thrilling, roller-coaster experience that builds on everything that made the original series a colossal hit,” reads Starz’s synopsis. “The series poses the question: what if Ashur, played by fan favorite Nick Tarabay, hadn’t died on Mount Vesuvius at the end of Spartacus: Vengeance? And what if he had been gifted the gladiator school once owned by Batiatus in return for aiding the Romans in killing Spartacus and putting an end to the slave rebellion?”
In addition to Tarabay, the previously announced cast includes Lucy Lawless as Lucretia, Graham McTavish as Korris, Tenika Davis as Achillia, Jamaica Vaughan as Hilar, and Ivana Baquero as Messia. Jordi Webber plays Tarchon, Claudia Black is Cossutia, India Shaw-Smith is Viridia, and Leigh Gill is Satyrus.
Spartacus: House of Ashur‘s new guest stars include Dan Hamill (Love Child) as Celadus, Andrew McFarlane (The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart) as Gabinius, Jackson Gallagher (Playing for Keeps) as Caesar, Jaime Slater (Pacific Rim Uprising) as Cornelia, and Simon Arblaster (Shortland Street) as Proculus. Arlo Gibson (The Sounds) guest stars as Opiter, Cameron Rhodes (Housebound) is Uvidus, Evander Brown (The Dead Lands) is Ephesius, Graham Vincent (My Life is Murder) is Hedylus, and Louis Hunter (Troy: Fall of a City) is Erato.
Donald Ross (My Life is Murder) will play Salvius and Duane Wichman Evans (Shortland Street) is Dacus.
Starz hasn’t announced a premiere date for the 10-episode season.
