*** SPOILER ALERT ***
This article and the linked interview contain spoilers. You have been warned.
Friday night (30th March 2012) saw the dramatic conclusion to season 2 (season 3 if you count the prequel mini-series) of the Starz TV hit show Spartacus.
The reluctance to shy away from killing off characters many would assume sacred was taken to shocking extreme as the finale drew to a close. You’d think that being the star that brought in the crowds, had worked with many of the crew before, and is married to one of the show’s Executive Producers would give you some job security. Apparently not, as the death of Lucy Lawless‘s character proves. This is not one of those “but they’ll bring them back somehow” deals either as Michael Ausiello’s interview with Spartacus Executive Producer Steven S. DeKnight makes clear.
So where does this leave Spartacus for season 3? A largely new cast including several new female characters. And what does this have to do with us here at KM UK? A well informed someone who has chosen to go by the name of Maj-kat has let me know that they would really like Kathryn to take a significant role in season 3. They know her well from her time on Xena, she is clear of her Cold Case commitments and has shown a willingness to take on more… errr… adventurous roles (*cough*Cougars, Inc.*cough*). Call make-up, we may need a blonde merkin! 😉
