Rome’s most famous gladiator comes alive in the graphic and visceral series - ‘Spartacus: Blood and Sand’.
When he’s separated from the love of his life, Spartacus is forced into the gruesome and bloodthirsty gladiatorial arena, where a grisly death is primetime entertainment.
He must fight for survival, befriend his enemies and play politics in this new world of corruption, violence, sex and fame.
‘Spartacus: Blood and Sand’ is an entirely new vision of the ancient legend - a bold, sensual re-imagining of those epic times.
Heart-stopping action captured in cutting-edge graphic novel style, coupled with elegant, sexy drama and devious political intrigue make for gripping television.
While the emotional focus of the series lies in the characters and their close-up interaction, the excitement of the action is intensified by the ‘graphic novel brought to life’ style, in the vein of the movies 300 and Sin City.
