Spartacus: House of Ashur Episode 6 Release Date
Spartacus: House of Ashur episode 6, titled “Empty Things”, is set to release on Friday, January 2, 2026, on Starz in the US, continuing the first season’s weekly run into the new year. It lands right after the fallout of episode 5’s arena chaos, so episode 6 is being talked about as a real pivot point for Ashur’s reputation in Capua and for Achillia’s brutally earned rise in the ludus. Fans who’ve been slow‑burning this show week by week will probably feel that familiar mix of “finally, answers” and “oh no, this is about to get worse in the best way.”
Spartacus: House of Ashur Episode 6 Release Time
Episode 6 drops on January 2, 2026, at 9 p.m. ET / 6 p.m. PT on Starz, with equivalent times rolling out across major regions for same‑day viewing. In practice, that lines up roughly like this for most viewers:
-
US & Canada – 6 p.m. PT / 9 p.m. ET (Starz channel and app)
-
UK – around 2 a.m. GMT the next calendar day when it lands via partner platforms like MGM+ and similar services.
-
India – about 7:30 p.m. IST when it appears on supported international Starz feeds or via VPN access to a US account
-
Singapore – around 10 a.m. SGT, and Australia roughly 1 p.m. AEDT, with New Zealand close to 3 p.m. NZDT for digital releases.
Many fans end up doing the classic routine: avoiding social media for a few hours, then binge‑watching late at night so the big twists in “Empty Things” don’t get spoiled five minutes after airing.
Where to Watch Spartacus: House of Ashur?
Spartacus: House of Ashur streams primarily on Starz in the US, with new episodes (including episode 6) available on the linear channel and on‑demand through the Starz app and Starz streaming add‑ons. In North America and other supported markets, it can also be accessed via Starz bundles on platforms like Prime Video Channels, Apple TV, Roku, Philo, and cable on‑demand, depending on region.
Outside the US, availability shifts a bit: in Canada, Starz is often added through services like Crave or Prime Video; in Australia, the show streams on Stan with weekly Friday drops; and in several other territories, Starz‑branded channels or partner streamers carry the same schedule, sometimes with a slight delay. Many long‑time Spartacus fans living abroad talk about pairing their old DVDs of the original series with a VPN and a Starz subscription just to keep everything in one ecosystem again.

About Spartacus: House of Ashur
Spartacus: House of Ashur is a 10‑episode sequel / “what if” series that imagines a timeline where Ashur lives and ends up running the same ludus where he once suffered as a slave, forcing him to balance survival instincts with power he never expected to hold. Steven S. DeKnight, who helped shape the original Spartacus, returns behind the scenes, while Nick E. Tarabay steps back into Ashur’s sandals opposite Tenika Davis as Achillia, a fiercely watched female gladiatrix whose every fight feels like a referendum on tradition.
Episode 6, “Empty Things,” pushes that dynamic hard: Ashur’s popularity in Capua reaches a dangerous peak, the politics with the Roman elite tighten, and Achillia faces an arena challenge that comes with a very real emotional and physical cost.
Viewers who loved the older series’ mix of blood‑soaked spectacle and scheming backroom deals are finding House of Ashur hits a familiar nerve—just with the uncomfortable twist of watching a longtime villain try to hold an empire together while it quietly starts to crack beneath him.
