Gods of the Arena is made to answer some questions you might've had in Blood and Sand. There's little continuity between both though, as Gods of the Arena will end abruptly, leaving much to be desired in between. IMO, the better option is to watch Blood and Sand, and then GOA.
• 9 mo. ago. You've got to go with the release order for that show. Andy in season 1 (Spartacus) is so good, and knowing his real life tragedy makes watching season 1 bittersweet. But Gods of the Arena is the better season, and I love that it's a prequel. It's so good in that order. It just works.

: Gods of the Arena is the second installment in the Spartacus series, and the six episode prequel to Blood and Sand. It premiered on January 21, 2011 on Starz. As season two had to be delayed due to Andy Whitfield's treatment for non-Hodgkin lymphoma, a prequel to the series was planned to fill in the time until September, when season two was scheduled to begin filming.It concluded on February 25, 2011.
The story centers around Batiatus and Lucretia and the rise of the House of Batiatus 5 years prior to Spartacus' arrival, seeing returns from many of the gladiators as well, including Doctore, Crixus and Barca amongst others. The show introduces the gladiator Gannicus, and his rise to fame under Batiatus' hand.
The House of Batiatus is on the rise, basking in the flow of its infamous champion Gannicus, whose skill with the sword is matched only by his thirst for wine and women. These are the times a young Batiatus has been waiting for. Poised to overthrow his father and take control, he'll freely betray anyone to ensure that his gladiators are in the highest demand. And by his side is his loyal and calculating wife Lucretia for every underhanded scheme, drawing on the brazen talents of her seductive friend Gaia when it counts. Together they will stop at nothing to deceive the masses, seize power and bleed Capua dry in this audacious prequel to Spartacus: Blood and Sand.

Unlike the rest of the series, Gods of the Arena is almost entirely fictional other than characters such as Batiatus, Gannicus and Crixus.
