From The Press Release
Today, Starz announced the highly-anticipated Season Two returns for two of their critically-acclaimed series: the horror fun-ride “Ash vs Evil Dead” and the outlandish comedy “Blunt Talk.”
“Ash vs Evil Dead” scares up its second season premiere entitled “Home” on Sunday, October 2 at 8PM ET/PT. The second season roars back into action with an extended episode where Ash is forced to leave his cushy retirement in Jacksonville, return to his hometown of Elk Grove, Michigan, and mount up once again to face The Evil Dead. This time, he’ll have to form an uneasy alliance with his former enemy Ruby as Elk Grove becomes the nucleus to the most dangerous horror Ash has faced to date. The upcoming season of “Ash vs Evil Dead” will include ten half-hour episodes.
