With The Return Of This Series, Netflix Can Firmly Maintain Its Position At The Top Of Streaming Services
Netflix is reviving the hit series 'Spartacus' to reinforce its standing in the ever-competitive streaming landscape.
Netflix has a new asset that could further strengthen its battle for the top position in the streaming world. The drama series Spartacus is making its comeback after years off the platform. With millions of loyal viewers worldwide, this revival could be a savvy move in a market where the competition among streaming services is intensifying.
The series Spartacus, originally aired from 2010 to 2013, tells the story of the Thracian Spartacus. After being captured and trained as a gladiator, he rebels against his oppressors. Alongside other gladiators, he leads a bloody and courageous fight for freedom. With starring roles from the likes of Andy Whitfield, Lucy Lawless, and Manu Bennett, the series successfully attracted a large audience.
The return of Spartacus is more than just an addition to Netflix's catalog. As Disney+, Prime Video, and HBO Max expand, Netflix shows that it is still the largest with over 301 million users. Adding a classic like Spartacus could help maintain that lead while attracting a new audience.
According to What’s on Netflix, the series will be available again starting September 22, for the first time in more than five years. Previously, viewers could watch Spartacus between 2015 and 2020, but since then the series has been absent from Netflix. With all four seasons returning at once, viewers will have the opportunity to experience the complete story again or for the first time.
The timing of this return is particularly significant. In 2025, a sequel series titled Spartacus: House of Ashur will be released, reviving the franchise after more than a decade.
