The show is expected to premiere later this year; however, series creator Steven S. Deknight already has plans to create multiple spin-offs of the upcoming program.<\/p>\n<p>The story is going to focus on Ashur and showcase an alternate history where the ex-gladiator does not die on Mount Vesuvius, and instead, obtains the ludus as a gift for helping the Romans against the slave rebellion.<\/p>\n<p>In a recent interview with ScreenRant, Deknight revealed that he has ideas to create four to five offshoots of Spartacus: House of Ashur if the show turns out to be a success. One of the spin-offs could be focused on the character of Hilara. The showrunner said:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have about four or five other Sparta-verse spinoffs in the wings if this is a big hit, which it will be, which it absolutely will be. There&#8217;ll be more. House of Hilara, was it?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Spartacus: House of Ashur showrunner talks about the long-term plan for the franchise<\/p>\n<p>Apart from the spin-offs, Steven S. Deknight also has a plan to create multiple seasons of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.soapcentral.com\/shows\/news-spartacus-house-ashur-reveals-julius-caesar-recasting-new-fresh-look\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Spartacus: House of Ashur<\/a>. The showrunner said the series could last for four to seven seasons, depending on how popular the series becomes:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI always like to have an idea that a show has legs before I sign on. So, we roughly mapped out about five seasons, and that could be four seasons, could be seven seasons, all depending on how popular the show is.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added that the show will continue the signature move of the franchise, where no character is safe, and any character could die at any point in the story:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI always say, though, before I say anything about the plan, the great thing about Spartacus is anyone could die at any moment.\u201d<br \/>\n                                        <img height=\"370\" width=\"660\" data-img=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/ZrlQLywyZDI\/sddefault.jpg\" data-img-low=\"https:\/\/img.youtube.com\/vi\/ZrlQLywyZDI\/sddefault.jpg\" class=\"lazy-img\" alt=\"youtube-cover\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Nick E. Tarabay, who is reprising his role as Ashur in the show, also echoed Deknight\u2019s thoughts and revealed how he has a long-term plan for the narrative. The actor said:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would call him like, \u2018Steven, I don&#8217;t know, this is weird.\u2019 He&#8217;d be like, \u2018Oh yeah, yeah. That won&#8217;t happen until season 4. It&#8217;ll pay off.\u2019 I&#8217;m like, \u2018Oh, so he&#8217;s got it all mapped out, clear in his head.\u2019\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cNothing is by accident. So, when the fans are seeing the first season, they&#8217;re going to be intrigued by some of the things that just pop out of nowhere. You&#8217;re like, \u2018Okay, that&#8217;s interesting.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The original Spartacus series aired on Starz from 2010 to 2013 and told the story of a Thracian warrior who becomes the leader of a rebellion against slavery. Meanwhile, he has to find and protect his wife, who has also been taken as a slave.<\/p>\n<p>The sequel series was announced in February 2023 and is going to star Nick E. Tarabay, along with Jordi Webber, Claudia Black, Graham McTavish, Tenika Davis, Jamaica Vaughan, India Shaw-Smith, Cameron Rhodes, Leigh Gill, and Ivana Baquero.<\/p>\n<p>Spartacus: House of Ashur will premiere on Starz in the fall of 2025.<\/p>\n<p>Why did you not like this content?<\/p>\n<p>\nCancel<br \/>\nSubmit\n<\/p>\n<p>Was this article helpful?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/statico.soapcentral.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"like selected\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-dis-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/statico.soapcentral.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"avatar selected\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\nThank You for feedback\n<\/p>\n<p>\nEdited by Jashandeep Singh<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Spartacus: House of Ashur is the highly anticipated sequel series to Starz\u2019s Spartacus.
