Spartacus: Vengeance left me speechless last season, with it's great storytelling, visual effects, over-the-top violence, unapologetic nudity, and it's same-sex storyline. I'm always pretty bummed that I have to wait a whole year to see the new season (and now since I no longer get Starz, I'll have to wait until it's released on DVD), but an exclusive teaser has been unleashed at Comic Con of Spartacus: War Of The Damned, the final chapter in this excellent series.
"War of the Damned" takes place following the defeat of Roman commander Gaius Claudius Glaber. Spartacus and his men have amassed major victories against the Romans after the Battle of Vesuvius. These victories have not only forged the legend of Spartacus, but have greatly increased the ranks of the rebellion slaves to more than 30,000. Rome is indeed beginning to tremble at the threat Spartacus now represents.
The "Spartacus" franchise began its run Friday, January 22, 2010 with "Blood and Sand." It was followed a year later with the prequel, "Gods of the Arena" (January 21, 2011). "Vengeance" hit the air on January 27, 2012 and "War of the Damned" is scheduled to air January 2013.
"Spartacus: War of the Damned" sees the return on Liam McIntyre (Spartacus), Manu Bennett (Crixus), Dustin Clare (Gannicus), Dan Feuerriegel (Agron), Cynthia Addai-Robinson (Naevia) and Ellen Hollman (Saxa). This year, Todd Lasance joins the cast as Gaius Julius Caesar, along with Simon Merrells, who will be playing Marcus Crassus and Anna Hutchison as Laeta.
New season begins January, 2013. Check out the trailer below...
