Starz new "Spartacus: Vengeance" promises to be an off the hook throw down between Viva Bianca's Ilithyia and Lucy Lawless' Lucretia.

Not to mention all the gladiator blood lust and action.  

Monsters and Critics broke that ice and asked the first question at the recent Television Critics' Association panel day for Starz. 

I asked Lucy how many great scenes she gets with Viva Bianca.

Lawless said, "Many. If you remember, when Ilithyia left us at the end, she barricaded the door and effectively enabled the massacre to happen against her own people. So the series is called 'Vengeance,' and my relationship with Ilithyia will certainly be a testimony to an act of vengeance. You know what I’m saying. Anyway, lots with her, lots of vicious parlor games, which is where all of the real punishment is meted out."

Starz sent us a new extended trailer for your pleasure:
