Completed Spartacus (Season 3) [Starz]
- Thread starter splax23
- Start date
Just finished season 1 and started streaming season 2. Anyone know if there are plans to continue the show. What a finale Season 1 had, LOL. I know Andy Whitfield is undergoing a second course of cancer treatment, and I personally hope he recovers well and is able to rejoin the cast at some point-I really like him on the show. Any news on Season 3, or are they waiting to hear how Andy responds to treatment?
Gods of the arena was a prequel. There will be a season 2 though. They already recast the role. Liam McIntyre will be the new Spartacus. And season 2 will be called Spartacus: Vengeance.

Hey Splax-yeah, thought it was cool that they did a prequel until they could decide what to do. Thanks for the info!
I discovered this on Netflix instant too, after a friend suggested it.
Great, great show... despite all the male nudity in it.
It's a shame about Whitfield, he was impressive in the role. Won't be the same without him.

On replacing Andy Whitfield:
Per Thewrap:
"DeKnight understands that audiences might greet the switcheroo, necessary as it might have been, with skepticism.
"I absolutely expect resistance," DeKnight conceded. "It's absolutely impossible to replicate your lead actor and not expect some reluctance [on the audience's part]."
It wasn't easy for DeKnight and the "Spartacus" crew to accept a new Spartacus, either. "We had many, many dark nights of the soul [while deciding what to do about the series]," DeKnight recalled. "We came very, very close to closing up production permanently."
Unltimately, DeKnight was encouraged that Whitfield himself gave his blessing to the replacement.
"[Whitfield] got in touch with us and said, 'I love this story, I love the character, and I want to see it played all the way through, and you have my full support to do that," DeKnight said.
DeKnight further revealed that, when circumstances permit, he and Whitfield plan to collaborate in the future.
"I have the utmost faith that Andy and I will work together again," DeKnight divulged."

We plan to start watching the first series "Blood and Sand" tonight, and already got the prequel on order - both from Australia.
I loved Sparticus:Blood and Sand. I also loved the prequel, but i will not spend the same amount of money for half of the amount of episodes. The should have reatiled this one at 19.99 not the 39.99 I have been seeing
Yes, the cheapest I've seen for the pre-quel is $24.99, but the price went back up on Amazon...great show!
