Sequence creator Steven S. DeKnight has teased whether or not unique Spartacus characters may return in the way forward for Spartacus: Home of Ashur. The alternate universe spinoff options Nick E. Tarabay returning to his position as Ashur. Different acquainted characters from the unique present embody Julius Caesar, and a quick look by Lucretia, with Lucy Lawless returning to the position.
In an interview with ScreenRant‘s Tatiana Hullender for the season 1 finale, DeKnight teased whether or not extra acquainted characters from the unique present may seem in Spartacus: Home of Ashur. Whereas the present’s creator does not give away too lots of his future plans, he does tease the potential of both Pompey or Crassus returning:
ScreenRant: Talking of Caesar passing, he was our foremost character connection to the earlier sequence other than Ashur himself. Are you fascinated about including extra characters from that unique present again in, or are you having Ashur stand extra on his personal?
Steven S. DeKnight: You need me to disclose all of the secrets and techniques! [Laughs] I am unable to say something, however there’s one other connection hanging on the market. Pompey, who we did really see on the finish of the unique sequence, is on the run. Crassus retains being talked about, and individuals are all the time asking me, “Are we going to see Crassus?” Then I remind them that, within the unique sequence, you heard about Crassus for 3 seasons earlier than he popped up. So, there’s all the time the chance to try this, however my foremost focus proper now could be on these new characters.
Whereas the premise of the spinoff sees Ashur transported to an alternate timeline the place Spartacus was killed on Mount Vesuvius, Home of Ashur‘s characters have largely been new faces. Apart from Tarabay’s Ashur and Caesar, performed right here by Jackson Gallagher as an alternative of Todd Lasance, there have not been any constantly-appearing main unique characters. However that may not be the case endlessly.
As DeKnight notes, there are many methods acquainted faces may present up in future episodes of the present.

Nevertheless, DeKnight beforehand confirmed that the scripts for the follow-up had already been written, indicating any fast, future cameos have already been deliberate out. The extent of them, nevertheless, stays to be seen till the sequence returns.
If returning characters do arrive, there is no assure they’re going to be performed by the identical actors, although. The sequence may recast some characters, akin to Caesar, in an effort to accommodate for the period of time that is handed. Nevertheless, it is clear from Tobeck’s return that some acquainted actors may come again into their roles from the unique present.
For now, it looks as if DeKnight can be protecting his actual plans near his chest. There isn’t any assure that the present will reveal any returns. Nevertheless, with Spartacus: Home of Ashur anticipated to run for a number of seasons, there is a excessive likelihood extra well-known faces will return within the foreseeable future.
