Starz network announced that Spartacus: Blood and Sand star Andy Whitfield is leaving the show to battle a recurrence of cancer.
The second season of the hit series "Spartacus" was postponed this spring when its lead star, Andy Whitfield was diagnosed with non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Sadly the cancer has returned after treatment, and maybe forcing the actor to quit the series.
Starz network said co-stars Lucy Lawless and John Hannah would take center stage for
a six-episode prequel leading up to Spartacus' arrival. It will air beginning in January. In a statement, Whitfield expressed regret at leaving the series while describing his cancer battle "as another extraordinary journey." [huffingtonpost.com]
