Lucy Lawless is a television queen, or more specifically, a warrior princess. She can’t help but juice up whatever series is lucky enough to nab her star power. Whether on Parks And Recreation or Ash Vs. Evil Dead, Lawless is a stabilizing force, an anchor of professionalism and goodwill. Hence, her return to the Sparticusiverse with the new, alternate history series, Spartacus: House Of Ashur. For Spartacus fans, the series starts from a curious place. Everyone knows Ashur died at Mount Vesuvius. what this series presupposes is… maybe he didn’t. Created by original Spartacus showrunner Steven S. DeKnight, House Of Ashur presents an alternate history, blue-skying what would’ve happened had the show been written differently.
