Spartacus: War of the Damned is currently in production in New Zealand, as the series final season. The story takes place following the defeat of Roman commander Gaius Claudius Glaber. Spartacus and his men have amassed major victories against the Romans after the Battle of Vesuvius.  These victories have not only forged the legend of Spartacus, but have greatly increased the ranks of the rebellion slaves to more than 30,000. Rome is indeed beginning to tremble at the threat Spartacus now represents.

The Spartacus series first began January 22, 2010 with Blood and Sand, and was quickly followed with a prequel, Gods of the Arena (January 21, 2011).  Thanks to netflix, events like San Diego’s Comic Con, and a huge online fan following, Vengeance hit the air on January 27, 2012 to great ratings. Now the fourth and final season, War of the Damned, is scheduled to air January 2013.

“Spartacus: War of the Damned” sees the return on Liam McIntyre (Spartacus), Manu Bennett (Crixus), Dustin Clare (Gannicus), Dan Feuerriegel (Agron), Cynthia Addai-Robinson (Naevia) and Ellen Hollman (Saxa). This year, Todd Lasance joins the cast as Gaius Julius Caesar, along with Simon Merrells, who will be playing Marcus Crassus and Anna Hutchison as Laeta. Now join the cast as they take you on a behind-the-scenes first look at the making of the series’ final season.
