The world of Spartacus is back — and Dope Interviews brings you an exclusive behind-the-scenes talk with the stars of House of Ashur, the brand-new STARZ series expanding the iconic franchise. Host Warren Shaw sits down with:
- Nick Tarabay on returning to Ashur after a decade, the character’s emotional complexity, and why the “villain” label never fit.
- Tenika Davis on portraying Achillea with strength, vulnerability, and purpose — without falling into harmful portrayals of Black women in ancient worlds.
- Jamie Slater on stepping into Cornelia’s unapologetic ruthlessness and why the women of this universe remain its backbone.
This episode dives into acting craft, character psychology, world-building, trauma portrayal, empowerment, and what fans can expect from the new series. If you love Spartacus, STARZ dramas, powerful female performances, or smart conversations about entertainment culture — this one is for you.
