Nick Video Interview with On The Red Carpet

The highest rated series on pay channel Starz is the Roman period piece Spartacus: Blood and Sand. On The Red Carpet's Chris Balish caught up with the stars of the show and asked them why a show about the Roman Empire is such a hit.

"I mean there’s action. There’s drama. There’s sex scenes," actor Nick Tarabay said. "There’s good looking people. I mean you can’t go wrong. And whatever it is that hooks you up in the beginning after a while the drama will catch on because it’s written so brilliantly." Tarabay says the show pushes the limits of violence and mature sexual content.

Spartacus is coming back in a six episode prequel set to air early next year. And production is expected to resume soon on season two. The show was delayed when star Andy Whitfield was diagnosed with early-state non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Sources at the network say Whitfield is recovering and he will be in season two.
