See what a reunited Bruce Campbell, Sam Raimi, and Ivan Raimi, joined by newcomers Lucy Lawless and Executive Producer Craig DiGregorio, had to say about “Ash vs Evil Dead” at San Diego Comic-Con!
Below we have the entire hour-long panel for Starz’s “Ash vs Evil Dead” that began with the trailer premiere that unleashed the Deadite army onto the Comic-Con audience.
“Ash vs. Evil Dead” is the long-awaited follow-up to the classic horror film franchise The Evil Dead and will premiere on STARZ October 31, 2015.
The 10-episode first season of the half-hour series is executive produced by Sam Raimi, Rob Tapert, Bruce Campbell, the original filmmakers of the franchise, and Craig DiGregorio, who serves as executive producer and show runner.
“Campbell is 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.”
