New series starting on "Starz" (some US cable channel) on Friday 22nd January, about "Spartacus" (obviously).
From Robert Tapert & Sam Raimi (Hercules, Xena, Legend of the Seeker).

I very much doubt it will be even remotely approach the epic greatness of HBO/BBC's "Rome", & it may well even end up a load of crap... but it has some good cast members, including the lovely Lucy Lawless... oh, & I've read it's quite rude...
