In a sequel to the 2010 series, the show poses the question: what if Ashur didn’t died on Mount Vesuvius?

Matt Roush says...

The gleefully gory Spartacus spinoff began with revisionist fictional history, resurrecting its title character, Ashur (Nick E. Tarabay), with an alternate timeline in which he wasn’t slaughtered. The season finale indulges in even more shocking revisionism, likely to leave fans breathless for a second season. The centerpiece is a showdown between two fierce female gladiators: Achillia (Tenika Davis), the “Goddess of Death” from the House of Ashur, and the Amazonian Scythian (Annie Mossman) from the devious House of Proculus (Simon Arblaster). Lust and bloodlust intertwine during the funeral games in honor of the slain Senator Gabinius (Andrew McFarlane), whose grieving daughter Viridia (India Shaw-Smith) carries a forbidden torch for the Syrian Ashur while chafing under the lecherous guardianship of her newly arrived uncle, Servius (Adam Gardiner), a promisingly putrid new adversary.
