As excited as we are to check out the new season of 'Spartacus,' to be sub-titled 'Spartacus: War of the Damned,' it comes with a twinge of sadness.  For we know that just as quickly as 'Spartacus: War of the Damned begins, the quicker the final season of Steven S. DeKnight's historical epic will come to an end.  Thankfully, that doesn't stop us from enjoying the brand-spanking new trailer for the season, full of new footage and insight into 'Spartacus: War of the Damned!'

Spartacus (Liam McIntyre) may think he's face about everything Rome has to offer, but he's never met a villain like Marcus Crassus (Simon Merrells) before.  As the latest trailer for 'Spartacus: War of the Damned' points out, Crassus knows not to underestimate the rebel hero and his army, lest he come to a bloody end the way Quintus Batiatus and Claudius Glaber have before him.

The latest look at the new (and final) season serves up plenty of action and bloodshed, while the cast and crew discuss what's on deck when Spartacus returns January 25.  Along with an insight into Crassus, you'll also get your first look at a young Julius Caesar (Todd Lasance) and a taste of just how epic in scope Spartacus' final year will be!

Check out the new trailer below, and tell us what you want to see from 'Spartacus: War of the Damned' in the comments!
