Starz announced that Season 2 of its Spartacus franchise will be premiering on January 27 and will be another addition to the genre fare that can be found at the end of the week (Chuck, Nikita, Fringe, Supernatural, and maybe Grimm).
For those unfamiliar with Spartacus, it's a re-imagined look at the classic tale of the leader of the slave revolution during the Roman Empire. By "re-imagined", I mean it has a heck of a lot more blood and sex than the Kirk Douglas version of the story, but that's what makes the show work. It's the guiltiest of all guilty pleasures, but it's also a pretty good show from top to bottom. Check out the featurette to get an idea of what this show has to offer...
Now, I know a lot of fans are still unsure about Liam McIntyre replacing the late Andy Whitfield, but the new footage didn't scare me off. I think we need to give him a fair shake before making up our minds. Regardless, I can't wait for Vengeance to debut.
