Saturday, July 26 from 3:00 PM – 4:00 PM PT in the Indigo Ballroom, Hilton San Diego Bayfront

“Spartacus: House of Ashur” explores what would happen if the ruthless, double-crossing Ashur had not perished on Mount Vesuvius and instead was rewarded by the Romans for betraying Spartacus. Now the owner of the very gladiator school to which he once belonged, Ashur must learn how to navigate a world just as brutal as the arena — Roman politics and nobility. Join the cast and creative team as they discuss the legacy of the original “Spartacus” series and dive into Ashur’s alternate fate in the epic new series.

Panelists include executive producer Steven S. DeKnight and stars Nick E. Tarabay, Graham McTavish (“Korris,” Ashur’s Doctore), Tenika Davis (“Achillia,” a fierce gladiatrix), Jordi Webber (“Tarchon,” a brash and headstrong gladiator), Jamaica Vaughan (“Hilara,” a young, elevated house slave, deeply in love with Ashur) and Jaime Slater (“Cornelia,” the ruthless wife of Julius Caesar.) The panel will be moderated by Liam McIntyre (“Spartacus,” The Legend of Hercules), who played Spartacus in Seasons Two and Three of the original series.

SDCC attendees can hop on board a Pedicab at Comic-Con International, where Spartacus: House of Ashur brings the action to life with pedicabs styled as Roman chariots. These rides will be driven by fierce gladiators, splattered with the marks of battle, ready to dominate the streets.
