Started to watch Season 2 instead of 1...
From what a friend told me, the action in S2 takes place before the S1's so would it be a good idea to watch this first and then the 1st one ? I already saw 2 episodes from S2 and I'm hooked :)
shareTechnically it isn't Season 2.
It's a prequel miniseries whilst they film season 2.
'Gods' was produced because the guy that played Sparty in the first season got cancer and then was in remission and then it came back, so to give him time to recover more thoroughly, they made a prequel.
But he wasn't getting well fast enough, so they had little choice but to recast Sparty with another actor that looks vaguely like Andy does. So now they are filming that and it should be airing next year.
Hope that clear it up.

I heard about the actor. So by seeing this prequel, I will not spoil the series, and I can continue with the S1 and so on and everything should be ok :) Is that correct ?
shareYou should be fine doing that. In fact, you'll probably have more context for certain events if you do.
shareThanks :) I was a bit worried not to ruin the story line ...
Anyone have any idea how many episodes would this prequel last ?
The prequel is only 6 episodes. Originally, Steven DeKnight had wanted to do a 3 hour tv movie and then STARZ decided to expand it to a 6 part miniseries.
shareAwesome - thanks for the info.
shareWell the appeal of prequel is that you see where the characters were as opposed to what they will be. Nothing should get spoiled but your not going to get the same meaning of events. For instance if a character is dead in season 1 but it thought natural causes but we find out in the prequel it was murder......well different dynamic. I would try to watch season 1 before seeing the rest of Gods of the Arena.
