Are you ready for SPARTACUS: GODS OF THE ARENA on Starz, starting this January 21, 2011?  I can’t wait for the new season on Spartacus.  I loved the first one and I hope the intensity and craziness is still there.  If you follow me on twitter I will be doing some live tweets during each episodes if I watch it on the weekly nights it comes on, but if I don’t I probably will do a weekly recap of each episode and my reaction to it.  I hope you follow me on Twitter (@rawmultimedia), and please subscribe to me on WordPress.

Here is the rundown on the new season directly from the Starz.com website…

The House of Batiatus is on the rise, basking in the glow of its infamous champion Gannicus, whose skill with a sword is matched only by his thirst for wine and women. These are the times a young Batiatus has been waiting for. Poised to overthrow his father and take control, he’ll freely betray anyone to ensure his gladiators are in the highest demand. And he’ll have his loyal and calculating wife Lucretia by his side for every underhanded scheme, drawing on the brazen talents of her seductive friend Gaia when it counts. Together, they will stop at nothing to deceive the masses, seize power, and bleed Capua dry in this audacious prequel to “Spartacus: Blood and Sand.”

Premiering, January 21 “Spartacus: Gods of the Arena,” the highly anticipated prequel to “Spartacus: Blood and Sand,” tells the story of the original Champion of the House of Batiatus. Joining returning stars, John Hannah (The Mummy, Four Weddings and A Funeral) as Batiatus, Lucy Lawless (“Xena: Warrior Princess“) as Lucretia and Peter Mensah (300, The Incredible Hulk) as Oenomaus, will be additional cast members Dustin Clare (“Underbelly”) as Gannicus, Jaime Murray (“Hu$tle”) as Gaia and Marisa Ramirez (“General Hospital”) as Melitta.
