Spartacus: Blood and Sand - Season 2 delayed

Although Spartacus: Blood and Sand was renewed even before the first Season had aired, the filming has now been on hiatus some time.
Andy Whitfield, who plays Spartacus, was diagnosed with Cancer, and although he is expected to beat it and recover, filming has had to take a break for him to fight and recover.

In this break, producers have been considering a prequel miniseries to keep the actors and crew occupied in the interim. So, I ask, what are you hoping the miniseries will focus on?

Some suggest that a younger actor will be cast to play Spartacus, but I cannot see how this would be useful regarding the cast who remains - none of them would have a part in this life.

I hope that the miniseries will focus on Crixus and how he came to be champion of Capua, how the hatred between he and Ashur grew. If John Hannah and Lucy Lawless were not available, it would still be possible to focus on the goings on in the ludus underbelly and in the arena.

What do you think?
