Video: Watch a Sneak Peek Clip From Episode 5 of SPARTACUS: HOUSE OF ASHUR

Check out a new sneak peek clip from episode five of Spartacus: House of Ashur, which debuts this Friday, December 26. In the new episode, Ashur presents Achillia to the public, where she faces her first battle in the arena. The first four installments in the Spartacus franchise are available on the STARZ app, all STARZ streaming and on-demand platforms. 

“Spartacus: House of Ashur," which follows the original series, asks the question: "What if Ashur had lived, and the Romans rewarded his treachery with the gladiator school where he once bled?" 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.

The series stars Nick E. Tarabay (“Spartacus,” “The Expanse”), who reprises his role as “Ashur,” Graham McTavish (“The Witcher,” “House of the Dragon”) as “Korris,” Tenika Davis (“Jupiter’s Legacy,” Cabinet of Curiosities)“ as “Achillia,” Jordi Webber (Choose Love, “Prosper”) as “Tarchon,” Jamaica Vaughan (“Home and Away,” “800 Words”) as “Hilara,” Ivana Baquero (Pan’s Labyrinth, “The Shannara Chronicles”) as “Messia,” Claudia Black (“The Nevers,” “Ahsoka”) as “Cossutia,” India Shaw-Smith (The Pines Still Whisper, “Supernatural”) as “Viridia,” Jackson Gallagher as “Caesar,” Jaime Slater as “Cornelia,” and Leigh Gill (Joker, “Game of Thrones”) as “Satyrus.”
