“Ash vs Evil Dead”
is the long-awaited follow-up to the classic horror films The Evil Dead.
The 10-episode half-hour series is executive
produced by Sam Raimi, Rob Tapert, and Bruce Campbell, the original
filmmakers, and Craig DiGregorio who serves as executive producer and
showrunner.
Campbell
reprises 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,” “Xena”) 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.
“Ash vs Evil Dead” premieres Saturday, October 31st at 9:00pm ET/PT
exclusively
on STARZ with a 10-episode season.
