Spartacus loses Andy Whitfield in the second season!
It’s a sad news for all of you Spartacus fans: Andy Whitfield is not coming back in the second season of the Starz show due to his cancer.
The Blood and Sand actor has been diagnosed with a non-Hodgkin lymphoma and his doctors advised him to start a aggressive treatment.
Andy Whitfield is only 36 years old and was diagnosed with cancer non-Hodgkin lymphoma in March while working on Spartacus.
The show was put on hold while the actor received medical care. Although the second season was set to air on September 2011, Andy won’t play in it. Starz plans to premiere the prequel Spartacus: Gods of the Arena, this January.
It is a sad news indeed but Andy Whitfield’s health comes first! Get well soon Andy!
