Reported Problem for Spartacus
posted by jm3426927STAFFMOD on December 21, 2024 at 8:34 PM
Item: Spartacus
Language: zh-TW
Type of Problem: Incorrect_content
Extra Details: Season 0 of this shows named Spartacus: Gods of the Arena, is not part of the Spartacus shows from 2010, it is a separate mini series with 6 episodes which released in 2011 and serves as a prequel to the Spartacus shows running from 2010-2013. It features some of the same actors and characters, but it is a separate show. I have started creating a new show for Spartacus: Gods of the Arena here: https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/280109-spartacus-gods-of-the-arena, but if it is possible to split season 0 off from the rest of the show, it might be easier to update that one, rather than creating a new show all together.

You could have done a quick search of the forums to see that it was incorrectly created many times before, and had to be deleted again and again.
Previous moderators have also explained that it was NEVER released by Starz as an independent miniseries. You don't have to believe our word, you can check the archives yourself. Back then, they called "Gods of the Arena" a prequel season and "Vengeance" Season 2, which is why we follow the same set up here. Nowdays, they just call "Gods of the Arena" Season 2.

That makes sense. I did search around for it before creating it, as it is very rare that you get to create a new show on TMDB. Shows are usually created in advance of being released, but the only thing I could find was the IMDb entries, which are separate for Spartacus and Gods of the Arena. Looking at Starz's episode guide you linked and as you wrote earlier, Gods of the Arena is season two, but on TMDB it is listed as season 0 and as Specials. Would it not be appropriate to switch the season numbering around for season 2 (Gods of the Arena) and then season 3 and 4 being Vengeance and War of the Damned?

We always follow the original ordering (i.e. this one). However, these is an alternative order with the four seasons as they are currently displayed on Starz.
