Spartacus creator Steven S. DeKnight has revealed details about the show's upcoming second season.

He told Collider that the new run has the working title of Spartacus: Vengeance.

"Not everyone responsible for what happened to Spartacus is dead yet," explained DeKnight. "I look at Season 2 as that middle ground between when Sparks breaks out... and when he becomes the leader of this massive force that almost took down the Republic."

The producer added that he had "the broad strokes" of the next thirteen episodes "all mapped out".

"We know how it ends," he confirmed. "It's got a truly spectacular ending, I will say that, but I won't ruin anything else."

He continued: "In typical Spartacus fashion, throughout the entire season, nobody is safe. A lot of people you love will probably die, and it will be tragic and uplifting at the same time."

DeKnight also suggested that the series will remain historically accurate, ending with the failure of the slave rebellion.

"I think that should be the end of the story, whenever we end it," he said. "But, that said, we've got enough latitude to easily explore the story for five to seven seasons."

Spartacus will return to Starz in late 2011. Prequel series Spartacus: Gods of the Arena continues on Fridays at 10pm.
