Anna Hutchison to join Spartacus

Cabin in the Woods actress Anna Hutchison is to join the cast of Spartacus.

Hutchison is amongst the new additions to the third season of Starz‘s historical drama. The second season, titled Spartacus: Vengeance, ended with something of a blood bath with several characters killed off. The third season, as yet untitled, therefore needs to find some new blood to continue the drama’s story.

TV Line reports that Hutchison will play Laeta, the privileged wife a Roman dignitary who becomes entangled in the conflict against Spartacus. Also joining the cast for the third season will be Australian actress Jenna Lind and New Zealand actress Gwendoline Taylor. Lind will play Kore, a loyal slave of Marcus (Simon Morrells). Taylor will play Sibyl, a beautiful slave rescued from the Romans.
