[quote=”Skirge01″]I wouldn’t mind a spinoff focusing on either Crixus or Doctore.[/quote]
They already started filming a spinoff when Andy’s 1st bout with cancer delayed filming of season 2. It will now premiere in Jan 2011 when the 2nd season of Spartacus was supposed to debut.
“To fill the absence, Starz ordered a prequel called Spartacus: Gods of the Arena which focuses on co-stars Lawless and Hannah. It tells the tale of the rise of the House of Batiatus before Spartacus’ arrival in Capua.”
But now we have no idea what the plans for season 2 will be. Wait for Andy to get better? Recast his role? Film another prequel? I hope it won’t mean canceling the series altogether.

I knew about the prequel, but I was thinking about going back further with Crixus and Doctore, focusing on what led them to the arena in the first place. Maybe that will be covered in the prequel, but they haven’t really said anything besides the fact that it’s going to focus on the House of Batiatus.
