It is now official, the spartacus season 2 has been announced and will be called the “Spartacus: Blood and Sand.” This is after numerous postponements and the unfortunate dropping out of lead actor Andy Whitfield due to cancer treatment. This was rather unfortunate since the cancer was discovered during the preseason shootings medical checkups. The best thing is that you might see Andy back to the screens since the cancer is treatable and was discovered during the early stages of the disease. The season is officially slated to begin at the end of January since the producers are dealing with the postproduction, a process known to take a while to be fruitful. Liam McIntyre replaces Andy in this new show and is expected to be successful in displaying the compassion as well as the anger displayed by the first star. This is yet to be seen but he seems like a good bet for the producers to take.
