Spartacus: VengeanceThe second season of Starz’ original action television series Spartacus stars Liam McIntyre (TV’s The Pacific) in the title role, after fellow Australian and former Spartacus Andy Whitfield sadly passed away from cancer. McIntyre had a big sword to fill.

Created by Steven S. DeKnight (TV’s Smallville), Spartacus: Vengeance (called Spartacus: Blood and Sand in its original season and Spartacus: Gods of the Arena in a special prequel season) is a no holds barred look at the legendary gladiator.

Brimming with sex and violence, the second season of the Mature-rated TV show starts where the first season ended, after the bloody rebellion of the gladiators from the House of Batiatus. As fear rises in the Roman Republic, Gaius Claudius Glaber (Craig Parker, Underworld: Rise of the Lycans) and his troops are sent to Capua to stop the group of freed slaves that Spartacus is leading. Spartacus must decide between his desire for vengeance against the man who condemned his wife to slavery and death or make the necessary sacrifices to keep his army from falling apart.
