The show, which revolves around the brutal world of Roman gladiators, will headline the cable channel's summer schedule.
Head of acquisitions Amy Barham commented: "As soon as we saw Spartacus we knew it was the ultimate testosterone-fuelled series guaranteed to put Bravo on the map in its 25th anniversary year.
"Provocative, technically brilliant and brutal, we're positive Spartacus will live up to the hype and controversy. 2010 is going to be one hot summer!"
The drama series, which airs on Starz over in the US, was recently handed an early second season renewal.
