Just finished season one and feel more solid about them choosing to go in a different direction if they go with a direct sequel season. The Spartacus character could easily be put on hold; I would gladly watch a a season focusing on Crixus.

On a related note, I just realized Doctore is played by the same guy who gets kicked down the well in "300"

I remember him from Jason X, which he was pretty good in.

Yeah, when ol' boy got kicked off the side of the cliff it cut to his reaction and you could just tell by the look on his face it was, "Yep. Been there before."

I'm surprised that noone posted this yet.

Here is the new trailer of Spartacus: Gods of the Arena.

Here's an interview with Steven S. DeKnight, the creator of Spartacus. He talks about the prequel.

I'll be curious if any characters from this prequel might play an important role in the second season, given that season will open the world of the show up quite a bit.

That depends on whether there will be a season 2 at all.
