Spartacus: House of Ashur (Season 1)

This historical drama presents an alternative fate for Ashur, one of the most controversial characters in the *Spartacus* universe. In this version, he survives the tragedy at Vesuvius and begins a dangerous rise to power within the Roman elite of the 1st century AD, where his origins as a former slave remain an indelible mark.

After gaining control of a gladiator school, Ashur uses the arena, political schemes, and ruthless alliances to secure his position. Beneath his success lies calculated vengeance against those who once humiliated and betrayed him.

The season explores power and survival, preserving the brutal tone and dark aesthetic of the franchise while turning Ashur’s story into a standalone drama about the cost of dominance and freedom.
