Ever since the first episode of Spartacus: Gods of the Arena aired, I fell instantly in love with the character of Gannicus. Yes Dustin Clare is real easy on the eyes, but it was the evolution of the character that really captivated me.

I've been trying to get Steven DeKnight, creator of the Spartacus series, to give me some spoilers as to how my beloved gladiator meets Spartacus during the new season, but he won’t budge! Today I had the opportunity to chat with Mr. DeKnight and though he refuses to ruin a juicy plot point, he did tell me this about the return of Gannicus.

Rosy: Could you tell me under what circumstance Gannicus makes his first appearance this season?

S. DeKnight: That would be giving away too much! I can tell you he comes back in a very unexpected way. It’s not what you would think. One of the things I wanted to do from the start is that our band of heroes are not Robin Hood and his merry men. They have a lot of problems internally which is very historical because they kept breaking up into different groups away from Spartacus. I can't say when Gannicus comes back but it's not a happy reunion. There are definitely a lot of problems that come with it.
