After almost ten long years, one of TV’s most brutal historical sagas returns this winter with a new house, and a new vision for its future. Spartacus: House of Ashur is bringing back the sandaled-sex and sword-swinging violence that made the original show and its sequels a hit – even if it was a little overshadowed by a certain HBO series about thrones and dragons.
