For UK fans the news is not all that good this morning. It seems that Gods of the Arena will not be shown in February as previously announced. Still no official announcement by Sky. But the Radio Times website confirms that there is no Spartacus airing in the original rumoured slot of Feb 7th at 10pm:

The following is from Dan’s Media Digest:

Spartacus: Gods Of The Arena, the six-part prequel to Spartacus: Blood & Sand, will be broadcast on Sky1 in the third week of March. The latter delay is annoying, as the Starz miniseries was scheduled for 7 February (four weeks behind the US), whereas now it'll be over by the time Sky1 start airing it. Still, to keep positive, at least it's not a Sky Atlantic exclusive.
