Spartacus
Created by Steven S. DeKnight
On STARZ
A visceral, high-octane drama of enslavement and rebellion set in ancient Rome, where graphic violence and arena spectacle drive a narrative of resistance and loss.
Torn from his homeland and the woman he loves, Spartacus is condemned to the brutal world of the arena where blood and death are primetime entertainment.
