MGM+ has released the trailer and key art for Spartacus: House of Ashur, the outrageous new chapter in the world of Spartacus, debuting with a two-episode premiere on Saturday 6 December, 2025. New episodes will stream weekly on Saturday. The original series, Spartacus, and all subsequent chapters are also available on MGM+.
In this reimagined world, where power, passion and destiny unite in an unforgettable new story, viewers are thrust back into the brutality of Ancient Rome with the shocking resurrection of the once-defeated Ashur, played by Nick E. Tarabay (Spartacus, The Expanse), who now returns as ‘Dominus’, the master of his own House. Fueled by vengeance and cunning ambition, Ashur rises from betrayal and bloodshed to seize power, gouging out a place for the House of Ashur in a new arena full of violence, desire and twisted loyalty.
Watch the brand new trailer in the player below:
The trailer teases fierce new players in Ashur’s world, including his battle-hardened gladiator trainer ‘Korris’, played by Graham McTavish (The Witcher, House of the Dragon); relentless gladiatrix ‘Achillia’, played by Tenika Davis (Jupiter’s Legacy, Cabinet of Curiosities); and the ambitious ‘Tarchon’, played by Jordi Webber (Choose Love, Prosper). Expanding the Roman stage, ‘Julius Caesar’, played byJackson Gallagher (My Life Is Murder, NCIS: Sydney) and his wife, ‘Cornelia’, played by Jaime Slater (Daredevil,Pacific Rim: Uprising) join the cast of gladiators, nobles, villains and schemers all vying for power in a world where blood and lust are the ultimate weapons.
Spartacus: House of Ashur is a thrilling, erotic and history-bending, roller-coaster experience that builds on everything which made the original series a colossal hit. What if Ashur had lived, and the Romans rewarded his treachery with the gladiator school where he once bled? Welcome to the House of Ashur. No longer a slave, Ashur has clawed his way to power, owning the same ludus that once owned him. But ruling a band of merciless gladiators is child’s play compared to surviving the savage world of Roman politics — a cutthroat game in which betrayal isn’t a sin, it’s currency. He flips tradition on its head by unleashing Achillia, a fierce and powerful gladiatrix eager to prove herself worthy in a man’s world. Together, they ignite a new kind of spectacle that shocks, disrupts and offends the elite with every drop of blood.
