New Era on Spartacus Universe: New SDCC Trailer Unveiled

At San Diego Comic-Con 2025, STARZ debuted a new trailer for Spartacus: House of Ashur, a bold continuation of the hit franchise. The story follows an alternate timeline where Ashur (Nick E. Tarabay) survives and rises to power in a new Ludus.

The trailer introduced Ivana Baquero as Messia, a house slave entangled in forbidden love and palace intrigue. Also revealed: Achillia, the series' first female gladiator, played by Tenika Davis, who delivers brutal action in the arena.

Returning showrunner Steven S. DeKnight promises the series will blend Spartacus’ trademark violence, sex, and betrayal with new characters and power struggles.
