Steven D. Knight’s big return to the “Spartacus” Universe with Spartacus: House of Ashur will not go beyond its freshman season at Starz, which has canceled the gladiator drama. Lionsgate Television, which produces the series, is currently shopping it to other platforms, sources tell Deadline.

The Spartacus sequel could not match the buzz and viewership levels of the original 2010 series. Additionally, the makeup of the followup’s audience did not quite align with Starz’s focus on women and underrepresented audiences, sources said. The sword-and-sandal genre is inherently male-skewing and popular with white viewers.
