Andy Whitfield, who starred as Spartacus, was diagnosed with Stage 1 non-Hodgkin lymphoma after the first season, so season 2 was delayed so he could get treatment. Gods of the Arena was shot as a prequel to fill time until season 2.
Unfortunately, Whitfield's cancer came back, so season 2 is going to be filmed without him if it does go ahead.
