Spartacus is the latest mythical action TV show to be filmed in New Zealand, following in the footsteps of the hugely popular Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and Xena: Warrior Princess productions of the 1990s. It is loosely based on the story of Spartacus, the Thracian man who supposedly led a slave revolt against the toga-wearing Romans about 100BC. The production will bring New Zealand's favourite action woman Lucy Lawless back to the screen and this time Drinkwater too, a Taranaki lad now based in Auckland. For Drinkwater the involvement in the big budget American production is a chance to take his career to the international stage.     5 April 2009 Lucy Going Back to Old Times - Chicago Tribune Xena's Newest Mission - Chicago Tribune 5 April 2009 Lucy Lawless Going Back to Old Times in "Spartacus" - Article about Lucy's involvement in the show and the role she has been cast in.
