A revival/sequel series to the hit Starz action show Spartacus is in the works from original creator Steven S. DeKnight, according to a recent report from The Hollywood Reporter.
The new series will be written by series creator DeKnight, who also co-created the original series alongside Sam Raimi in 2010. According to confirmation from Starz, the new series will “expand” on the original, leaving it a bit unclear as to just what route the show will take as of now. DeKnight will also serve as the showrunner for the series.
“It’s such an incredible honor to be invited to return to the world of Spartacus and to be met with unbridled creative support from my colleagues at Starz and Lionsgate,” DeKnight said in a statement. “Together we are crafting something truly unique and unusual for the next chapter in this epic story.”
According to The Hollywood Reporter, this new entry in the series will take place in the aftermath of the major slave uprising, and is set to “depict a new tale of treachery, deceit, and blood unfolding beneath the foreboding shadow of Rome.”
