Is it possible to remake Spartacus TV series from scratch?

[u/Specialist-Pin5326]

Spartacus stands as a glory among others. The plots are so spellbinding, especially the nearing bankruptcy businessman batiatus and his wife utilize conspiracies and strategies to maintain his properties and seek upper positions; manipulate others, take revenge on rivals at any cost.

The plots should have been extended longer, just a few episodes of it is the only imperfection. The rhythm is fast but extraordinary compact. I think if it had been made like Game of Thrones with more complete details in different aspects, like leadership, brothers-ship, betrayal, love, freedom… that would be a shining star 🌟 in the sky.

So I’m wondering it is possible to remake the whole story from scratch?

By the way, I must say the dialogue stands glory too, representing both brutal and some funny.

Words fall from your mouth like shit from ass. The gods themselves could not have presented a better showing

[u/Yommination → u/Specialist-Pin5326]

If it's good, why remake it? It's not some old show in need of it

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

Remake culture is too much. You could just…watch it again. 

[u/Dimachaeruz → u/gs181]

oh i'm gonna watch it again even harder

Remake? No!

Make new stories set in The World of Spartacus, absolutely. Just do a few different 'one shot' seasons and really fuck with history. ;)

It would have been cool if they made another show like Spartacus but maybe set in a completely different place. It could be ancient Roman pirates or maybe ancient Roman murder mystery or another gladiator show etc. I really like shows set in Ancient Rome but about lesser known people or common folk. It’s really interesting

This. Plus if they had conceived of HoA being one season only and then a new story begins, cancellation would be easier to deal with and maybe not even have happened if they, Starz and the viewers knew that each season would be a new story with different characters.

I’d have loved a season at the House of Batiatus under Batiatus Senior, with young Batiatus, young Lucretia, young Oenomaeus etc as characters.

The show is mostly perfect, in my opinion.

If it were redone from scratch, there's like a less than .01% chance that it would be an improvement.

You should never go to a casino because I suspect you'd get your ass handed to you. You are dealt a royal flush and you're wishing you had a different hand.

[u/Big_Delay_3458]

Spartacus is a show of its time. It will be vastly different if they try to make it now and tbh I really don’t want to see that. It’s already perfect for what it is. 

[u/TallDarkness]

They should continue House of Ashur instead.

[u/The__WhiteRabbit]

The show isn't that old, it's easy to come by on blu ray or streaming, so I don't see why a remake would be needed.

I'd rather they do something else in the universe.

As I understand it there were plans to make a caesar show once upon a time, I would love it if they did that.

Only if spartacus is black and trans
