In June 2010 it was announced that Whitfield completely finished his treatment, had a clean bill of health and was expected to be back on the set of Spartacus: Blood and Sand by October.[7] Three months later, in September, it was announced that Whitfield's cancer has returned and he would not be returning for the second season of Spartacus.[8]
