Anchor Bay Entertainment has announced the Blu-ray release of Spartacus: The Complete Series, which is being made available via a standard box set and a Limited Edition Collector's Set. Both Blu-ray/UltraViolet Digital HD combo packs include a full disc of new bonus features as well as three new Season One audio commentaries. The Complete Series sets arrive on September 16th.
Synopsis: Spartacus tells the classic tale of the Republic's most infamous rebel, who comes alive in the series' first season, Blood and Sand. Then comes Gods of the Arena, a prequel that explores a deadly history before the arrival of Spartacus, and the death he now carries with him. The second season, Vengeance, continues to follow Spartacus as he is faced with a choice to either satisfy his personal need for vengeance, or make the sacrifices necessary to keep his growing army from breaking apart at the seams. Finally, in War of the Damned, Spartacus carves his name into history as he plots to avenge his wife's death and leads Batiatus' slaves in a bloody uprising that will not be forgotten or equaled. All four seasons are currently available on Blu-ray.
