It's a bit confusing.
First there was Blood & Sand, which introduced Spartacus and the school, and ended with the slave rebellion.
Then, the actor who played Spartacus got cancer, and they hoped he was going to recover, so they decided to make the prequel, Gods of the Arena. Gods of the Arena takes place in the same gladiator school and has many of the same characters as Blood & Sand except Spartacus himself.
Then, when it became clear the original Spartacus wasn't going to recover, they recast the role and made the first season of War of the Damned.
This is the second season of War of the Damned, and the fourth season overall.
Lucy Lawless was in all of the previous seasons.
