Spartacus: House of Ashur will release ‘Empty Things’ next year on January 2. The episode anticipates a turning point in Ashur’s story, who finds his way in the savage environment of Roman gladiators. Ashur comes to power as a master of a ludus in which he used to be a slave.
The series will be characterized by increasing tension because Ashur’s desire conflicts with Rome’s politics. The fierce female gladiatrix Achillia still defies the traditions and demonstrates her value in the killing arena. This episode is a turning point as the popularity of Ashur in Capua is going to be examined.

More Information: Plot and Casting
Spartacus: House of Ashur is a series of 10 episodes. It has been developed by one of the producers of the original Spartacus series, Steven S. DeKnight. Episode 6 is based on the story of ‘Goddess of Death’, where Ashur presented Achillia to the public for her first arena battle. The full season will wrap up by the end of January 2026. Many viewers have commented on IMDb regarding the show's performance. One user said,
"Similar to God's Of The Arena, we see Ashur trying in vain to get his fighters into an honoured position in... something new, and that's when fate drops Aqililia (often sounds like I Kill Ya) into his scheming lap."
The cast includes Nick E. Tarabay as Ashur and Tenika Davis as Achillia. The series is based on a different timeline in which Ashur does not die, and he is the master of the gladiator school. Starz has already mentioned that the series received a 100 percent fresh rating by critics on Rotten Tomatoes. The original Spartacus fans will notice the extreme violence and politics that made the franchise famous.
