The new season premieres tonight, January 21st, at 10pm ET on Starz.
Spartacus: Gods of the Arena will act as a prequel to Spartacus: Blood and Sand that was originally aired on Starz, January 22, 2010. It will tell the story of the first gladiator, Gannicus' (Dustin Clare) rise to become champion of Capua. Lucy Lawless (Lucretia) and John Hannah (the head of the Batiatus family) will reprise their roles, along with Peter Mensah (Oenomaus), and Manu Bennett as (Crixus). Andy Whitfield will make a brief appearance as Spartacus.
The series was expanded out of a single flashback episode that was to originally have appeared in the second season of Spartacus: Blood and Sand. The series was stalled when it was discovered that Andy Whitfield, who played Spartacus in the first series, was battling non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma.
