Original filmmakers Sam Raimi, Rob Tapert and Bruce Campbell Serve as Executive Producers on the Series starring Campbell and
Lucy Lawless among others
Beverly Hills, Calif., May 29, 2015 – The STARZ Original series
“Ash
vs Evil Dead” is rolling out new teasers this week for the 10-episode
first season of the half-hour series executive produced by Sam Raimi,
Rob Tapert, Bruce Campbell, the original filmmakers
of the franchise, and Craig DiGregorio who will serve as executive
producer and showrunner.
“Ash vs Evil Dead,” which is currently in
production in New Zealand, is the long-awaited follow-up to the classic
horror film franchise The Evil Dead and is set to premiere on STARZ in Fall 2015.
Campbell
will be reprising his role as Ash, the stock boy, aging lothario and
chainsaw-handed monster hunter who has spent the last 30 years avoiding
responsibility, maturity
and the terrors of the Evil Dead. When a Deadite plague threatens to
destroy all of mankind, Ash is finally forced to face his demons
–personal and literal. Destiny, it turns out, has no plans to release
the unlikely hero from its “Evil” grip.
The cast is led by Bruce Campbell (Evil Dead,
“Burn Notice”) in the role of Ash Williams, Lucy Lawless (“Salem,”
“Spartacus”) as Ruby a mysterious figure who believes Ash is the cause
of the Evil outbreaks, Ray Santiago (“Touch,”
Meet the Fockers) as Pablo Simon Bolivar, an idealistic immigrant who becomes Ash’s loyal sidekick, Dana DeLorenzo (A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas) as Kelly Maxwell, a moody wild child trying to outrun her past and Jill Marie Jones (“Sleepy
Hollow”) as Amanda Fisher, a disgraced Michigan State Trooper
set to find our anti-hero Ash and prove his responsibility in the grisly
murder of her partner.
