The Starz Network hosted a Comic-Con panel on Friday for its hit series “Spartacus: Blood and Sand.” Taking the stage were series stars Andy Whitfield, Lucy Lawless, John Hannah, Viva Bianca, and executive producer Stephen S. DeKnight.
DeKnight revealed plot points for season 2 of “Blood and Sand” (a slave revolution) and discussed the show’s spinoff series “Spartacus: Gods of the Arena.” But, what will interest stalkers fans of slave girl Laura Surrich is that the home editions of the series will feature an extended cut of her orgy scene in episode six “Delicate Things.”
DeKnight said:
The great thing about Starz is that they’ve always said, ‘We want you to tell the story you want to tell, and we’ll tell you when you’ve crossed the line.’ And the only time in season one when they told us we’d crossed the line was in episode six, when we had the orgy scene. Some of the footage was a little bit too much, but when you buy the DVD, we put it back in.
“Spartacus: Blood and Sand” debuted on Starz to over a million viewers in January, making it the network’s first major hit. The series features hyper-stylized violence, gratuitous sex, and nudity from all its major players including Lawless, Bianca, Erin Cummings, and Whitfield.
“Spartacus: Gods of the Arena” will begin shooting next month in New Zealand and premiere on Starz in January. The second season of “Spartacus: Blood and Sand” goes into production later this year.
