The show's producers, technical wizards and actors talk about the epic new sets and the massive battles the show has built for its January return. Rob Tapert says "People will feel even more submerged into the time period and the culture." "This season especially, I would hate to waste an episode since we only have 10 to wrap up the story," creator Steven S. DeKnight told HuffPost TV in a June interview. "And I can tell you, production-wise, it's a huge challenge because every single episode is just gigantic."   Find our more about the final season of Spartacus called War of the Damned on AUSXIP Spartacus     8 September 2012 Lucy on The Insider For StandUp 2 Cancer 7 September 2012 Lucy was featured on The Insider tv show for 7 September 2012 about the Starz and Be Here Now video she did in honour of Andy Whitfield and StandUp 2 Cancer.
