Incase you’ve been living under a rock, “Ash vs. Evil Dead” officially began production last month in New Zealand. The cult horror franchise started in 1981 with Sam Raimi’s The Evil Dead, followed by sequels Evil Dead II (1987), Army of Darkness (1992) and the remake in 2013. Now, two years later, the franchise will continue on Starz Channel this Fall when Bruce Campbell and company return in a television adaption to consist of 10 episodes.
Other cast members appearing alongside Bruce Campbell include Lucy Lawless (“Salem,” “Xena: Warrior Princess”), Mimi Rogers (“Mad Men,” “NCIS”) Ray Santiago, Dana DeLorenzo and Jill Marie Jones.
The show will follow 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.
Check out the 15 second teaser below. Nothing too earth shattering, but definitely something to get you in the mood!
