Lucy Lawless has revealed details of her character's return in the second season of Spartacus.

The actress told IGN that Lucretia will "unleash the demons from hell" in the next run of the Starz drama.

"I know a couple of very broad strokes," she explained. "I have incredible faith in these writers. I would be shocked if it wasn't as brilliant as everything else [we've done]."

Producer Steven S. DeKnight also confirmed that new episodes will explore the consequences of the then-pregnant Lucretia's brutal stabbing in the first season finale.

"Lucretia survives her wound but, as you can imagine, she's less than happy," he laughed.

Lawless added: "She's had something very precious, the only thing precious to her, taken away from her and there'll be hell to pay."

Spartacus is expected to return to Starz in January 2012.
