As seen in the teaser for the series, “Spartacus: House of Ashur” isn’t a prequel, sequel, or reboot of the franchise. Instead, it’s something different.

The series stars Nick Tarabay, Graham McTavish, and Tenika Davis. Steven DeKnight returns as a producer and showrunner for the series after having that same role on the previous iterations of the show.
