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.

Just to clear up the season titles:
Season 1: Blood and Sand
Season 2: Gods of the Arena (prequel)
Season 3: Vengeance
Season 4: War of the Damned
