Spartacus: Ashur Cast & Characterhouse
The show features a remarkable cast with both fresh talent and well-known names:
Nick Tarabay as Ashur.
Reiterating his legendary performance as Ashur, the primary prequel series protagonist, Nick Tarabay Ashur is given an opportunity this time to ascend to power and maybe transform Spartacus's universe in a way he never could have dreamed of.

Korris, Graham Mctavish
Known for his part in "The Witcher," Graham Mctavish joins the cast as Korris, a former gladiator who won his freedom in the arena. Additionally serving Ashur as his Doctore, he offers direction and encouragement in this other world.
Tenika Davis played Achillia.
Renowned for her work on "Jupiter's Legacy," Tenika Davis plays Achillia, a female gladiator motivated by a great ambition to outshine her male colleagues. The series could find great appeal in her tenacity and will.
Jamaican Vaughan as Hilara
Renowned for her performance in "Home and Away," Jamaica Vaughan portrays Hilara, a young, sophisticated house slave who is fervent Ashur devoter. The story will probably revolve mostly on her love for him.
Messia, Ivana Baquero
Renowned for her performance in "Pan's Labyrinth," Ivana Baquero plays Messia, a house slave with sentiments for Hilara. Their relationship gives the story still another degree of mystery and complexity.
Tarchon was Jordi Webber.
Tarchon, a strong and driven gladiator with a sharp attitude, is portrayed by Jordi Webber. He will surely be very important in the gladiatorial field as well as in the power relations of the planet.
Claudia Black as Cossutia.
Claudia Black joins the cast as Cossutia, a political official aiming at Ashur's destruction. Her ambition and guile make her a strong series adversary.
Viridia is India Shaw-smith.
India Shaw-smith plays Cossutia's daughter Viridia. She will probably get caught in the political schemes of her mother and the power struggle.
Satyrus, Leigh Gill
Leigh Gill finishes the cast as Satyrus, the brother Ferox leader from a competing Ludus's gladiators. His rivalry with Ashur will drive the gladiatorial contests and maybe lead to lethal confrontation.
Investigating an Other Route for Ashur
"Spartacus: House Of Ashur" veers boldly toward an other reality in which Ashur survives and is given a gladiatorial school once owned by Batiatus. Ashur's assistance in destroying Spartacus and quelling the slave revolt pays for this unusual gift. Examining Ashur's ascent to power, his possible alliance with the Romans, and the effects his actions have on the world of Spartacus, this twist sets the scene for a quite different set of dynamics.
Legacies of Blood and Glory
With its visceral action, sophisticated characters, and examination of the cruel reality of ancient Rome, the first "Spartacus" series had a lasting influence on television. This prequel offers a fresh viewpoint on a familiar environment, so augmenting that legacy. "Spartacus: House of Ashur" is ready to enthrall viewers and start a fresh wave of excitement for the universe of Spartacus with the comeback of dear characters and a gripping new plot.
