Damn so now it's just the prequel? No plans for a second season? To be completely honest, he could be replaced. I mean he was just a model before this!
The first episode aired Friday night. Spartacus: God of the arena Just as good as last season but with more nudity, blood and gore! Watch the first episode here! http://www.starz.com/originals/spartacus/screeningroom/Pages/screeningroom.aspx#/episode-1/
...not sure if I like how they went back in time Hopefully this is only temporary for Season 2, explaining a little bit more of the back-story, and then leaping to the future where Season 1 left off!
They went back in time this season because the actor who played Spartacus got cancer and they were trying to give him time to get well. He's not getting better so they have finally found a new actor to play Spartacus and Season 3 will resume where Season 1 left off.
There's an article about him on that website I posted on page 1 of this thread where you can watch the episodes.
Australian actor Liam McIntyre has been cast as the Thracian warrior. The decision comes after a lengthy and difficult process to find a new lead on the cult hit after star Andy Whitfield had to depart the show to resume treatment for cancer. Earlier this month, Starz decided to move forward with a second season as the number of contenders for the role narrowed. “Since no one can really replace Andy, we realized that we should instead find an actor who can truly lead ‘Spartacus’ forward,” said Starz president and CEO Chris Albrecht in a statement. “It was important to us to have Andy endorse the idea of recasting this part, which he did in the same heroic manner that he’s dealt with his whole ordeal. And that, coupled with our fortune in finding a young actor with the gladiator credentials and the acting ability of Liam, makes it easier for us to keep this hit franchise going.”
This is where I have been watching them. Are there other shows that put them on Netflix for streaming after they air?
