… I think we’ve been able to retain all of the intrigue and romance and emotion of season 1, but we’ve just opened it up so much more.” But it’s a group of very angry gladiators and slaves on the loose. “Obviously we’ll have interior sets - all shows need them. …We’re not inside anymore,” said DeKnight, who added that four scripts for the new season were already completed. “So yes, we gave them more money, but they deserved it.”Īnd they’ll be putting it to good use, DeKnight added. “I think one of the great challenges and opportunities for the show is that the visual style of the show is going to continue to evolve in order to be able to incorporate the journey the characters literally have to take,” Albrecht said. As DeKnight himself said, it is a “massively epic story.” My main question for Albrecht was this: Did the network give the ‘Spartacus’ producers more money for the show’s second season? Given that season 2 will chronicle the adventures of Spartacus and his band of rebel slaves, all of whom will be on the run from the Roman authorities, the next season will clearly have a wider scope and more locations. Regarding funding and the scope of Spartacus: Blood and Sand: Season 2 He’ll be “hot on heels” of the escaped slaves, according to a story by Matt Fowler of IGN. Legatus Glaber ( Craig Parker), Ilythia’s husband and the man responsible for Spartacus’ enslavement, will be back in season 2.Vettius ( Gareth Williams), a ludus owner and an enemy of Batiatus in ‘Gods of the Arena,’ will not return in season 2.Mira ( Katrina Law), a slave who helped Spartacus in ‘Blood and Sand,’ will return in Season 2.

Producers are recasting Naevia, who will return in season 2.

So that’s where we want to take him in Season 2.” There was that great scene back in episode twelve of Season 1 where Mira says ‘you can’t do this because we’ll all be put to death’ and he says ‘I don’t care.’ So he’s going to go from there, from that place, to putting his own feelings aside and fighting for the greater good. I wanted a guy who was very much ruled by his own passions and emotions. “As much as I love the Stanley Kubrick movie, I didn’t want him defending slaves right from the start. And how will we find Spartacus in Season 2? Will he be the leader of men as told in legend? “When we started Spartacuswe knew he wouldn’t be the golden hero from the start,” DeKnight said.
