When the show Spartacus: House of Ashur was announced, fans understandably wondered how it could happen, since the character Ashur was killed off at the end of Spartacus: Vengeance. Now, a preview has been released that explains how the spinoff series will work.

She’s holding Ilithyia’s baby and tells a bewildered Ashur that he should have died at Vesuvius. She explains that fate is complex and that his death wasn’t the only possible outcome. She then sends him to an alternate reality where he survives and is the one who kills Spartacus, earning him his own Ludis as a reward.
