Two Fridays ago saw the premiere of what is officially the second season of the show, renamed from "
Blood & Sand" to "
Vengeance" and following a new leading actor in the title role: Liam McIntyre, taking over for the late Andy Whitfield following his death at age 40 from non-Hodgkin lymphoma cancer. While it's sad in many ways to continue, the show - as they say - must go on. And with that in mind, Amazon has now begun taking pre-orders for
Spartacus - Vengeance: Season 2 on both
DVD and high-def
Blu-ray Disc formats. These listings are in advance of the official Starz/Anchor Bay announcement for these items, though, so instead of a street date Amazon merely says "
This title has not yet been released. You may pre-order it now and we will deliver it to you when it arrives."
Pricing is available, however, currently showing $49.98 SRP for the standard DVD and $59.99 SRP for the Blu-ray (you can, of course, guarantee your copy right away at a discounted price, if you order it using either of the above links). There are no other details available so far at Amazon's entries, nor is there cover art yet (just some temporary promo artwork). Stay tuned, of course, and we'll update you further on all of this, just as soon as we find out anything more! Our thanks to reader Paul Cooke for the heads-up about these listings.
