>Starz has greenlit the new 10-episode drama series Spartacus: House of Ashur with the return of Steven S. DeKnight to the franchise serving as showrunner and executive producer.
>Nick Tarabay will reunite with DeKnight to reprise the role of the titular Ashur, the baddy from the mothership series you can’t help but cheer for while equally despising him.
>Starz describes the series as “a history-bending, erotic, thrilling, roller-coaster experience” that builds on the original series, Spartacus. It will ask, “What if Ashur hadn’t died on Mount Vesuvius at the end of Spartacus: Vengeance? And what if he had been gifted the gladiator school once owned by Batiatus [John Hannah] in return for aiding the Romans in killing Spartacus and ending the slave rebellion?”
/ourguy/ is back
nice
>not the Caesar spin-off
>it's a lame alternate universe story
there goes my interest
Why didn't they ever show him fucking this Victor character?
Who’s victor
You know. Ashur, fucking Victor.
Don't get my hopes up like this, anon. Provide a source or prove you stand fucking Roman.
Jupiter cock its Real:

ASHUR!
There's no way this won't be shit, woketarded Hollywood simply will not allow the glorious blood and tits that the original series had, all the more so as Ashur was a Bad Guy and can't be allowed to succeed.
They'll just increase the amount of cocks and gays and reduce tits to one frame per episode
>as Ashur was a Bad Guy and can't be allowed to succeed.
why even bring him back from the dead all at then? seems to me he is enough of a fan favourite to resurrect so why just shit on him more?
>so why just shit on him more?
Every episode ends with Ashur talking to Batiatus's ghost about whatever wacky scheme went wrong this time.
That'd honestly be great. Will Lucy show up to get her banging 50 year old tits out as well?
Why not.
Spartacus was at it's best when the Ludus was a thing, it was all the underhand scheming and plotting. When it became nothing but fighting it lost a bit of soul.
He is also a rapist, so prepare to see him get butt-blasted at least thrice in retribution.
Seeing him in shape and actually fight in Gods of the Arena was kino. He really did get a raw deal from the others in the brotherhood.
Honestly this. Spartacus exists that delicate time capsule before metoo and intimacy coordinators were a thing. Even the merkins the actresses wore would regularly "malfunction" on set.
100% they'll turn Ashur into an imbecile and surround him with a bunch of ugly trannys.
STARZ gets away with everything because they can hide behind the protective barrier of being 'for women' aka mummy porn.
They'll throw a gay black guy and a tranny sex scene in, other than that it will be wall-to-wall slave tits and cunt.
>or prove you stand fucking Roman.
Someone post the screencap, I can't find it.
It has been too long since a good Spartacus thread.
Oh god, the date.
Doesn't matter how old this is, always makes me kek.
you better not be messing with me OP...Ashur was based
Maybe they shouldn't have fucking killed him in the actual show then?
As someone who thought that was a stupid decision and they'd end up regretting it, I feel vindicated.
I doubt they realized they'd be so creatively bankrupt they'd need to do this 12 years ago
Nah bros he is fine...just a flesh wound
Even killing him wasn't necessarily the problem. Ashur was courting a lot of enemies. It was the way he went out. Naevia instantly recovering from the place everyone goes to get raped and die working, and then get good enough to beat the guy who'd beat up 5 professional soldiers at the beginning of the season, was just beyond any stretch of disbelief.
There was a significant stretch of time between when they rescued her and when she fights Ashur.
doesn't matter, Naevia would never be good enough to defeat any gladiator
Though if Naevia had fallen, surely the others wouldn't have just let him go?
Probably not. But that's not what they wrote, shot, and aired.
First of all it does matter, you're pretending they showed an untrained emaciated whipped mine slave beating him which isn't true.
Secondly she didn't YAAASSSS at him and dominate him, Ashur was playing with and humiliating her for almost the entire fight.
Third, he was dead, they were just going to kill him regardless of if he won or lost.
Professional female athletes get wrecked by highschoolers
But STrONk Naevia
words fall from OPs mouth like shit from ass.
Multiverse/Alternate time line shit is infesting everything. Embarrassing.
As long as they essentially just pretend he smelt a rat and ran off instead, then never make mention of it again it'll be fine. The only other character to return should be the ghost of Batiatus, in every episode.
And what of good Solonius?
He is not without skill.
/tv/... can we please write a letter to Starz requesting they bring back Good Solonius?? They are bringing back Ashur so it's possible. I'll start;
Dear Starz,
BRING
And what of Good Solonius?
There it is
The only reason I clicked on this thread
And what of bad Solonius?
What of Good Cossutius?
ASKING THE REAL QUESTIONS.
Well sir? Pull cock from ass and answer question.
GOOD COSSUTIUS! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO
holy based. hopefully they show him killing that chick whatever her name was. gods she was awful!
i think there's some confusion
nice
I don't remember what happened in the show? Was he killed on screen?
>Was he killed on screen?
Anon... he had his head chopped off.
qrd on this character? I remember him being a rat and had a limp, also he was good with money I think. In the end what happened to him?
based
is the house a ludus again and we get gladiator kino? or were the games over at that point?
Guarantee this opens with the Naevia fight scene with a voiceover along the lines of "The Gods have our fates, but what if sometimes the coin flips?" Romans turn up and interrupt allowing him to escape.
>ashur tells crixus how naevia moaned like a whore as he fucked her
>crixus spartan kicks her off the mountain
>in the commotion, ashur escapes
They won't be brave enough to kill woke naevia
I do hope it'll live up to the spirit of the original, tits everywhere, cocks getting cut off, full on stuff.
It will open with Glaber not believing Xenia and telling Ashur to fuck off. Or Ashur peacing out before the Glabbening.
There's really no need to change anything else, either one of those options can let Spartacus go on with basically zero changes other than Ashur being alive.
>you fucking cunts
I want more Spartacus, but not some cringey "What if?" alternate timeline bullshit. How hard is it to just make a regular spinoff about any living character or a prequel about a dead one?
I'd rather watch a sequel with based Ashur than the 4 nobodies who canonically survived or a prequel that's just a forgone conclusion.
We already got an awesome prequel. It would be dumb to make another
Gods of the Arena is fantastic, better than both Liam Mcintyre series.
Crassus and Cesar were kino.
Shame irl crassus was a moron that basically paved the way for ol' Ceaser to end the republic.
fuck off
go take more cocks in your ass, homosexual roman
This show is a silly soap opera with lots of cartoonish gore and softcore porn. Who cares if it's now in an alt-timeline or not?
Spartacus and the rest are dead, dumbass. Ashur is based and shouldn't have been killed off in the original show.
Who else could come back?
Bring back Caesar, and the Ghost of Batiatus who shows up in every episode.
Depending on how far they're willing to change things, I can see Lucretia and Illynthia coming back.
Did anyone honestly see this coming?
Based Ashur finally getting what he worked for, and not just a spin off comic or novel.
Hopefuly a 4k release of the originals now.
There have been rumors of a Spartacus spinoff for years but never would have thought an alternative reality spinoff about Ashur running his own ludus would be what would be greenlit.
It's kind of random, but the gladiator school seasons were the best so it's good the show will be going back to the ludus.
There have been calls for a spinoff with this exact title and premise semi-regularly for over a decade.
DeKnight must shitpost here.
Curious who the Doctore will be
Maybe the Egyptian? Would be fitting If the new Doctore for the House of Batiatus was the one who killed the previous Doctore.
>TV is now so dead they have to plunder old series for good characters
>IT'S REAL
>IT'S REAL
>IT'S REAL
>IT'S REAL
Praise the Gods!
>The Fall of the House of Ashur
Audible heh.
I've seen a lot of boba and that one still surprises me.
There's an interview with the actress and she said the only roles she was offered after Spartacus, were stuff like Street Walking Whore, Titty Dancer #12, etc.
>bathtub girl: uncredited.
We're going home boys, back to Capua, back to sacred ground.
Our cocks shall rage on. We'll spread cheeks and ram. We'll not stand roman.
This could be the best thing since the originals ended.
Didn't they confirm that there will be a sequel to Spartacus?
>history-bending
black woman as roman emperor incoming
Hopefully they'll keep the balance right between tits and drama, rather than essentially becoming a nudge nudge wink wink parody of itself.
I hope they do something similar to that scene with varro where there was a crowd of thirsty roman women watching him pound the maid. roman public sex with women reacting is hot as fuck
you fucking cunts
If they keep Ashurs character intact, this will probably be fucking fantastic.
If this is actually decent it's going to be my new headcannon ending to the series.
Ashur is sent to deliver a message, halfway there he says fuck that, and sneaks away. Nothing else needs to change.
This is basically the better less known version of Pedro Pascal.
That's a pretty interesting idea, sort of. They need to really sell how the alternate timeline comes about though. It'd be cool if the Gods actually intervene like they did throughout the original series. Like a God takes pity on Ashur and causes everyone on the mountain to let him go instead and that creates the alternate universe.
but what of a sequel called House of Good Solonius?
we need Gannicus back and the hot blonde with rbf face. Lucy is prolly too old to be flashing now
Gannicus post freedom pre season 2 would've been a decent choice. Especially knowing how he goes out.
>Lucy is prolly too old
I still wood.
Solonius Poster has been generous to the thread because he loves the thread, as I do. It is the posters that rule, not you fine Jannies.
Solonius Poster is my brother by sacred oath, I know his heart, he is my friend, and a based anon of the board. And until anyone proves that he is not, I will never report him.
Wrong fucking thread, Roman scum. By Jupiter
s cock, prepare ass cheeks for a good flogging.
to a normal, you are gay if you watched Spartacus ... they connect that this was on a pseudo-pornography channel and then they connect the cast and the costume design and there's no escaping their conclusion .... unless you prove you're straight right there on the spot
Good. Normalfags ruin everything they take an interest in. Let them keep thinking Spartacus is gay porn or whatever.
you are both missing the point; instead of respecting you for your 33rd degree grandwarlock wizard lifelong incel achievements, they will write you off as pathetic and just a loser closet gay like they all thought and laughed/worried about together all along. my point is ultimately you shold not recommend this show .
all that aside this show was truly good and amongst the few that are still memorable today. watching it as it aired and as the 1st actor died of cancer was intense at the time im sure all of that gets missed by zoomer-marathoning it
Yeah, I'm afraid the only weird incel is you, women loved this show. It's a panty melter.
Yeah, dude, I'm sure normalfags thought a show about badass dudes fighting with swords in Rome, plastered with cartoon gore and wall-to-wall tits was super gay.
WOW! Im actually baseding out a little cause I never thought we'd see any Spartacus content ever again. Completely unexpected but I'm not complaining. I actually distinctly remember when watching the show when Gaber said he would give Ashur the ludus if he proved himself how awesome it would be to see that.
I am worried like others have said that they're going to put some feminist bs in though.
>I am worried like others have said that they're going to put some feminist bs in though.
ashur decides to get into the female gladiator business
he gets recruits exclusively from africa
they are clothed from head to toe at all times
the break out and kill all the men and whites like at the end of blood and sand
Do you think they're gonna bring any of the og cast back or they're going complete new cast?
Looks like the concept os Ashur gets the school after Spartacus is dead. So really, who else is left by that point?
Agron and his butt buddy were still alive by the end of the show and so was Crassus and Caesar. It would be an ass pull but Gannicus could also be alive since he was just crucified.
I really don't see the three survivors of a slave revolt returning to rome and specifically the ludus in capua.
i'd give a pass for this idea of an alternate reality path for ashur but not retconning the whole thing
the rest of the cast would either be dead or off doing something else if he took over the ludus
I can see Crixus and worst Spartacus making cameos. Don't think I've seen them in anything post Spartacus so shouldn't be an issue.
they should bring back the original actor that died of cancer and say it was all a Mandella Effect.
that would be real life kino
also how did you all not immediately think of the recent Dexter reboot abomination? starz and shotime were number 1 and 2 coomer kino stations
damn there used to be some great programs every week what a golden age honestly.
this era of rebooting everything speaks to the quality of that time ... or it's just naive optimism and any level of value/respect/credence for any entertainment at all if absolutely reprehensible to our hero ancestors etc
The reason I have a little hope is because the guy who did the original series,Steven Deknight, is in control and the guy is a kino machine
I can understand that I just hope we aren't betrayed.
is this a jobber-tier, entirely for money, soulless/passionless, free from concern of betraying your fans situation?
I don't care if its an asspull I want to see Gannicus again
What do you think happened to the other Spartans and slaves after they buried Spartacus?
They're not Spartans lol
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh *fuck* I'm tired I was also simultaneously thinking of 300
lmao he's called Spartacus dumbass they're Spartans who follow him that's why the show looks like 300
Go to sleep, anon. You're drunk.
They're Spartacans
Jupiter's Cock
Kino is finally back on the menu
if these retards are bringing back something stupid as "house of ashur" then that means
>Treasure Island sequel series WILL HAPPEN
>Da Vinci's Demons will actually get a proper conclusion
starz is going back to the masculine era now that outlander is done
>Treasure Island sequel series WILL HAPPEN
man i hope so
and now that woke shit is bombing all over and maybe its on the way out, the sequel will have a chance of being good
didn't the guy playing john silver fuck his spine up hobbling around though? i wonder if he would cripple up again for the role
wait a minute i know him from the sopranos
>*rapes you*
>"Caesar, why are you not upon horse?"
>Heh nothing personal Caesar
Another coomer bait no talent garbage show.
Battiatus & Lucrecia need to appear.
Either flashbacks or ghosts who just pester Ashur.
