Tenika Davis Reveals the Truth Behind Becoming Spartacus’ First Female Gladiator | House of Ashur

Описание: Tenika Davis steps into the arena and delivers one of the most powerful interviews of the entire Spartacus: House of Ashur junket. From becoming the first-ever female gladiator in the Spartacus universe, to the pressure of joining an iconic franchise, to the grit, resilience and years of martial arts training she brought into the role — Tenika goes deep.

She opens up about her taekwondo journey, building confidence when she had none, finding strength under pressure, and how that personal story shaped Achillia. Tenika also reveals who she thinks would survive longest in a real Roman arena, how she prepared for brutal gladiator training, the challenge of letting go of perfection, and why the new Spartacus chapter is the most diverse and daring yet.

If you’re a fan of the original Spartacus series, love action, representation, strong female leads or want real inspiration from someone who has fought her way into becoming a warrior on and off screen — this is a must-watch.

Watch until the end to hear where she wants her character to go next and why fans are in for a “wild ride.”

Plot

Spartacus: House of Ashur resurrects the infamous Ashur in a reimagined Ancient Rome where he rises not as slave, but as Dominus of his own ludus. Fueled by vengeance and ambition, Ashur builds a new power structure defined by brutality, loyalty, and political treachery.

The story introduces new gladiators, rivals, and Roman elites — including the hardened trainer Korris, the fierce gladiatrix Achillia, the ambitious Tarchon, and Julius Caesar navigating the shifting political landscape with Cornelia at his side.

This new chapter expands the franchise’s signature mix of blood-soaked spectacle, erotic power plays, and political intrigue, exploring what Rome becomes when betrayal is rewarded rather than punished.

The series debuts with a two-episode premiere on Saturday 6th December on MGM+, with new episodes weekly.
