A couple of news items on shows in limbo:
"Spartacus: Blood and Sand," which airs its Season 1 finale Friday, has been a hit by cable standards. It may only get about a million viewers per week, but based on anecdotal evidence, they're pretty rabid viewers.
For myself and a fair number of friends and readers, it's clear that this gladiator drama is addictive (and I'll be writing more about "Spartacus'" enjoyable first season on Thursday). And Starz has already renewed "Spartacus" for a second season, but what happens next is a little unclear.
Production on Season 2 of the drama is on hold while star Andy Whitfield seeks treatment for cancer. A recent news item on NY Mag's Vulture blog said that Starz is considering a "Spartacus: Blood and Sand" prequel miniseries in order to have something "to fill their January hole."
A source close to the show who asked not to be identified said that a possible prequel miniseries was just one of "multiple scenarios" that are being considered. The prequel miniseries "may happen and may not," the source said. Nothing has been decided, the source noted.
Again, I'll post some thoughts on the first season of "Spartacus" in a couple of days.
Regarding another cable show...
There's no official word yet, but it's expected that there will be another season of HBO's "Curb Your Enthusiasm" at some point. And I heard from a reliable source that part of the production for the new season will take place in New York. (A representative for HBO would not confirm that Season 8 of "Curb" is officially a go or that any filming will take place in the Big Apple.)
