Though "Spartacus: Blood and Sand" has yet to be premiered until January 22, 2010 at 10 P.M, Starz has ordered the second season of this series. The title of the second season is expected to be "Spartacus: Vengeance," but other details are still kept under wraps.
The first season, meanwhile, will follow Spartacus who is condemned to the brutal world of the arena where blood and death are primetime entertainment. However, not all battles are fought upon the sands. Treachery, corruption, and the allure of sensual pleasures will constantly test Spartacus. To survive, he must become more than a man. More than a gladiator. He must become a legend.
