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. It’s more like a “What If…?” take on the franchise as it explores what could have happened if Ashur hadn’t died at the end of “Spartacus: Vengeance.”
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.

“Spartacus: House of Ashur” doesn’t have an official release date yet. The series is said to be releasing this fall. You can watch the teaser below.
Here’s the synopsis:
“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. The series poses the question: what if Ashur 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?
