Lucy Lawless is set to reprise her iconic role as Lucretia in the upcoming Starz sequel series 'Spartacus: House of Ashur', which poses an intriguing alternate history scenario involving the character Ashur, played by Nick Tarabay. The series will explore what might have happened if Ashur had survived Mount Vesuvius and acquired the gladiator school previously owned by Batiatus in exchange for assisting the Romans against Spartacus. Lawless' return, although as a guest star, is expected to be pivotal in establishing the storyline's 'what if' premise. The series creator, Steven S. DeKnight, promises a thrilling and erotic experience reminiscent of the original Spartacus series. Alongside Lawless and Tarabay, the cast includes Graham McTavish, Tenika Davis, and Claudia Black among others. A release date for the series has not yet been announced, but the excitement among fans is palpable.
