Starz' Spartacus to Hang Up Its Loincloth
By Swanni 

Washington, D.C. (June 5, 2012) -- Starz has announced that the period drama Spartacus will fold up its loincloths for the last time when it finishes its third season early next year.

The show, which is based loosely on the A.D. historical figure, Spartacus, who went from slavery to warrior, has featured a rousing mix of nudity, violence and bawdy encounters. Consequently, the show pulled an average of six million viewers every week, a strong number for the premium channel.

But series producer Steven S DeKnight tells the Los Angeles Times that it's time for the saga to end.

“The fans have been tremendously supportive of our show,” DeKnight told the newspaper. "We did not come to this decision lightly. It was an extremely difficult and emotional decision for my partners and I. Yet, in the end, the story was best served by rolling all of the remaining action and drama of Spartacus' journey into one stunningly epic season that will be extremely satisfying for everyone who's been along for the ride."

The final season, which will include 10 episodes, is now in production and will air in January.
