Special 'SPARTACUS' Behind The Scenes ♥

The Story of Spartacus

Rome wasn't built in a day. It was built in a studio in Auckland.


Spartacus was shot over four seasons in a studio in Auckland with not one frame shot on location. The production used 788 local suppliers, leased 6 warehouses (which were converted for production), and provided 20,000 extras’ workdays. The series employed 350 permanent and 150 casual crew each week, and 20 core cast each season. Overall, the production made a $200 million investment in New Zealand.  Post production and visual effects were done at Digipost in Auckland.

The series employed 350 permanent and 150 casual crew each week, and 20 core cast each season. See the cast & crew at work in this image series. Rollover images for captions.
