Now that Gods of the Arena is over and we are settling down for an extended period with no Spartacus, our thoughts turn to who will be back for Season 2.

As we all know, Andy will not be back in his role as Spartacus. That role will now be in the hands of Liam McIntyre. We also know that Lesley-Ann Brandt will not be back as Naevia. The role of Naevia will be recast and we will get to see Crixus search for his love.
