Spartacus-vengeance-02

Spartacus has just been renewed for a third season by STARZ – months before the premiere of season 2!

Production on the third season of ‘Spartacus‘ is expected to begin in New Zealand in early 2012.

“There is no denying the impact ‘Spartacus‘ has had in the marketplace with fans across the globe thirsting for the continuation of the epic tale,” Starz Media Managing Director Carmi Zlotnik said in a statement. “We are thrilled to come to an early agreement that allows the writers and talent to get right back to work in preparing for season three.”

The most recent chapter of  Spartacus was the prequel, Gods of the Arena, which ran in January 2011 and averaged an estimated 6.2 million total viewers per episode across all linear channels and on-demand viewing.

Australian actor Liam McIntyre (Ektopos, Radev, “Neighbours,” “The Pacific”) assumes the title role of Spartacus in “Vengeance.”  McIntyre is joined by returning favorites: Lucy Lawless (“Xena: Warrior Princess,” “Battlestar Galactica”) as Lucretia; Peter Mensah (Avatar, 300, The Incredible Hulk) as Oenomaus – once known as Doctore; Manu Bennett (The Marine, 30 Days of Night), as Crixus; Dustin Clare (“Underbelly,” “Satisfaction”) as Gannicus; Nick E. Tarabay (“Crash,” “CSI: Miami”) as Ashur; and Katrina Law (“Third Watch”) as Mira.

Spartacus Vengeance will debut exclusively on STARZ – Friday, January 27, 2012 at 10PM ET/PT.
