What do you do when you kill off most of the cast in the season one finale? You go back in time. Pre-production is underway on a six-part prequel to Starz’ hit original series “Spartacus: Blood and Sand.” Andy Whitfield, who played the title character in the series, will appear in the prequel briefly, but Lucy Lawless and John Hannah take center stage in this story of the rise of the House of Batiatus and its champions before Spartacus arrives as a captured Thracian slave.  With the title still to be determined, the prequel will begin production this summer in New Zealand, and is slated to air on Starz in January 2011.
