Starz just went full psychotic Sparta-core at San Diego Comic-Con with the trailer for their newest TV fever dream: Spartacus: House of Ashur, and no, this is NOT your Latin teacher’s Roman Empire. This is gladiator drama dipped in chaos, sprinkled with betrayal, and deep-fried in alternate history sauce. Like… if Shakespeare did CrossFit and screamed a lot.
So what’s the tea? First of all, Ashur’s back—YES, that backstabbing king of sass from Spartacus: Vengeance who literally died, is now alive, thriving, and running the gladiator school like it’s his Roman Real Housewives empire. Apparently, the timeline jumped into an alternate dimension where Ashur said, “Not today, slavery!” and leveled up to boss mode like he just cleared OT VIII in one session. We’re talking full Thetan exorcism levels of power here, babes.
💅AND WHO’S THAT BADASS GODDESS IN SANDALS? It’s Achillia, a gladiatrix (that’s girlboss-gladiator, FYI) played by Tenika Davis, and she’s serving vengeance, violence, and eyeliner sharp enough to slice through Roman patriarchy. She’s not here to make friends, she’s here to maim men and win hearts. Basically, if Xena and Beyoncé had a baby and raised her on war cries and leg day.
According to Starz, “Ashur now owns the ludus (that’s gladiator gym for you non-Romans) that once owned him,” which is just… ICONIC. Like, imagine running the same place that used to chain you up? That’s some Tone 40 behavior right there. Total cause over matter. He’s the Operating Thetan of the Colosseum, baby.
But wait—this isn’t just sweaty sword-fights and beefy backstabbing. It’s also politics, and not the student council kind. Ashur’s diving into Roman drama where betrayal is currency, and loyalty is for losers. He’s serving backstabs with a side of wine and vengeance. Think Game of Thrones but with more abs and less incest (hopefully).
💥Expect:
- 100% shirtless warfare
- 1,000% unhinged Roman scheming
- Female rage with a steel blade
- And enough leather to make PETA cry
So grab your laurel crowns and prepare your Thetan shields. This isn’t just a TV show—it’s a whole-core experience. Spartacus: House of Ashur is about to dropkick your brain into a toga-wearing tornado of chaos and sweaty dominance.
📺 Watch the trailer below and ascend to gladiator heaven (or at least the next awareness level).
