All Hail ‘Spartacus: The Complete Series’ on Blu-ray September 16th!
When news of this incredible box set first hit my desk today and later from my favorite PR person in the world I knew I had to get the word out about this at my very first opportunity when it presented itself. That such moment is now! Quite honestly, I don’t know if I would still be writing about Blu-ray if it wasn’t for the magic of the hit Starz show Spartacus and how it touched my life. The show is even responsible for bringing me together with one of the site’s greatest scribes ever, Mr. Aaron Neuwirth. I think I even speak for Gerard Iribe when I say Spartacus is what dreams of made of when it comes to blood, carnage and gratuitous nudity on the Blu-ray format. For those reasons and so many more over the years, Spartacus has put us on the map and I take a bended knee to the mighty warrior and leader. So now, without further ado, I would like to spread the gospel of Spartacus by joining Anchor Bay and Starz in celebrating the following Blu-ray news.

Beverly Hills, CA – All hail Spartacus – his legend will live on! Anchor Bay Entertainment releases every season of the acclaimed Starz Original series in a complete muscular thirteen-disc Blu-ray™ + Digital HD with Ultraviolet™ and DVD box set on September 16th. From executive producers Rob Tapert, Sam Raimi, Josh Donen and Steven S. DeKnight, here is every moment – uncut and uncensored – of the series that broke all the rules and took no prisoners! “SPARTACUS: THE COMPLETE SERIES” is a beautifully packaged collection that contains a full disc of new bonus features. The Blu-ray™ + Digital HD with Ultraviolet™ edition contains three new audio commentaries for the first season that are exclusive to this collection. A limited edition Blu-ray™ + Digital HD with Ultraviolet™ set packaged with a Spartacus collector’s figurine will also be available.
“SPARTACUS: THE COMPLETE SERIES” is the classic tale of Spartacus, the Republic’s most infamous rebel who comes alive in the first season of “Spartacus: Blood and Sand.” Then comes “Spartacus: Gods of the Arena,” the prequel that explores a deadly history before the arrival of Spartacus, and the death he now carries with him. The second season, “Spartacus: Vengeance,” continues to follow Spartacus as he is faced with a choice to either satisfy his personal need for vengeance, or make the sacrifices necessary to keep his growing army from breaking apart at the seams. Finally, in “Spartacus: War of the Damned,” Spartacus will carve his name into history as he plots to avenge his wife’s death and leads Batiatus’ slaves in a bloody uprising that will not be forgotten or equaled.
“The gods finally bless us with the complete collection,” says creator and executive producer Steven S. DeKnight. “Spartacus was a true labor of love for everyone who worked on it and I’m incredibly proud to present all 39 episodes in stunning High-def for the fans to enjoy at their leisure, but make sure you watch them in the order they first aired to revel in the experience as originally intended.”
