There sure is, according to Suite 101. It will be called Spartacus: Gods of the Arena and focus on the house of Batiatus prior to Spartacus' arrival. I understand the reason for this but I'm still not sure that this will work out.
Definitely, even if they got the perfect replacement, he's still catch grief from the fans simply because he wouldn't be Whitfield. I thought the purpose of Spartacus: Gods of the Arena was to fill in while Whitfield's treatment happened and they'd go back to Spartacus: Blood and Sand S2 in the next season once he had recovered. If they are recasting now, I guess this means they are moving on?
