Returning and not returning characters;
• Gannicus (Dustin Clare), a gladiator who got his freedom at the end of the prequel season will return
• Spoiler -<Lucretia (Lucy Lawless), who had a nasty stab wound at the end of 'Spartacus: Blood and Sand,' will be back in season 2. "it was just a little poke in the tummy," Lucy Lawless told a recent press gathering. "Put a poultice on it, she'll be all right."
…we'll still get to see Lucy Lawless return as Lucretia in Season 2, as it was announced last month that her character, indeed, survived the Ludus bloodbath. “It's something we've talked about, going forward with each season, is trying to find that connective tissue of a villain – because obviously the hero will cross over through all the seasons – but trying to find a villain that can do it,” [Spartacus: Blood And Sand creator Steven S.]DeKnight said. “And I use the term ‘villain' loosely because not all are villains, they're just on the other side.
But to find someone on the opposing side and carry them through to the next season. I was adamant that both [Batiatus and Lucretia] were going to die. And that Luctretia was going to die, but then I had this idea and I knew exactly what I wanted to do with her. And it would be a great element to add to Season 2.” So does that mean that Lucretia will now be a changed woman? Will she have learned a valuable lesson? “Oh no,” DeKnight laughed. “She learns no lesson. Lucretia survives her wound but, as you can imagine, she's less than happy.”
• Crixus (Manu Bennett), a House of Batiatus champion and, eventually, a friend to Spartacus, will return for season 2.
• Oenomaus/Doctore (Peter Mensah) will be back also
• Ilythia (Viva Bianca) will return in Season 2, as you'll recall, once Ilythia saw members of Batiatus' household beginning their murderous rampage, she ensured that Lucretia and her husband were locked inside the house with their angry slaves
• Ashur (Nick E. Tarabay) will return
• Mira (Katrina Law), a slave who helped Spartacus in ‘Blood and Sand,' will return in Season 2.
• Vettius (Gareth Williams), a ludus owner and an enemy of Batiatus in ‘Gods of the Arena,' will not return in season 2.
• Legatus Glaber (Craig Parker), Ilythia's husband and the man responsible for Spartacus' enslavement, will be back in season 2.
Regarding the escaped slaves in Spartacus Season 2
With the Batiatus Ludus getting left in the bloody dust, where will that leave our heroes? Will they be on the run? “Part will be hiding and part will be guerilla tactics,” DeKnight stated. “As always, we'll take key moments from history to help us portray the story. You know, they head out to the countryside and cause a lot of havoc.
You know, it's interesting because historically they raped and pillaged their way through the land. But it's a little hard to portray your heroes as good guys if they slaughter children and raping women. But we don't pull back from the fact that they will kill a lot of Romans who they perceive to be the problem. But yes, they'll be on the loose, in the countryside, causing trouble and Glaber (Craig Parker), who will be the first person sent after them, will be hot on their heels.”
