The first season of “Ash vs Evil Dead” ended with Bruce Campbell’s Ash making a deal with Ruby, which leads to his friends’ safety, and his retirement in Jacksonville, Florida. It was a bit anticlimactic, but also sort of hilarious.

The second season is deep into production, and apparently kicks off with a kegger and Ash being the life of the party. The above first shot shows our “hero” chainsawing a keg of beer in half. No demons in sight, but they’re coming…

“When you have a chain-saw hand, this is how you tap a keg,” executive producer Craig DiGregorio said of the new photo, adding that Ash unfortunately won’t be able to relax for long, as “the party is cut short when he must return home to continue the fight against evil.”

There’s a lot to celebrate in the forthcoming Season 2 as Lee Majors will play the role of Brock Williams, Ash’s father, and Michelle Hurd was cast as the high school sweetheart. Cult horror movie favorite Ted Raimi will also join the second season as Ash’s childhood best friend, Chet Kaminski.

Oh, and here’s the synopsis!

The cast is led by Bruce Campbell (Evil Dead, “Burn Notice”) in the role of Ash Williams; Lucy Lawless (“Salem,” “Spartacus”) as Ruby, who now possesses the powerful Necronomicon; Ray Santiago (“Touch,” Meet the Fockers) as Pablo Simon Bolivar, Ash’s loyal sidekick dealing with the trauma he suffered in the cabin; and Dana DeLorenzo (Harold and Kumar Christmas) as Kelly Maxwell, who, grief-stricken after the death of her parents, plots revenge against The Evil Dead.

There’s not much there, but I like that Sam Raimi and company are building out the Williams family tree and it will be interesting to see what an all-powerful Deadite (Ruby) will be like in the second season.

Dead Mail SXSW Dead Mail interview

One of the genre films we’re looking forward to checking out at SXSW this year is Dead Mail, written and directed by Joe DeBoer and Kyle McConaghy and premiering on March 9.

Meagan Navarro will be reviewing Dead Mail for Bloody Disgusting as part of her SXSW coverage, and she writes in her preview for the upcoming fest: “Dead Mail leans heavily into the ’80s analog aesthetic, delivering a unique crime thriller unafraid to get offbeat with its dark narrative. Expect its characters to be as atypical as Dead Mail‘s sense of style.”

In the SXSW 2024 horror film…

“On a desolate, Midwestern county road, a bound man crawls towards a remote postal box, managing to slide a blood-stained plea-for-help message into the slot before a panicking figure closes in behind him. The note makes its way to the county post office and onto the desk of Jasper, a seasoned and skilled “dead letter” investigator, responsible for investigating lost mail and returning it to its sender. As he investigates further, Jasper meets Trent, a strange yet unassuming man who has taken up residence at the men’s home where Jasper lives.

“When Trent unexpectedly shows up at Jasper’s office, it becomes clear he has a vested interest in the note, and will stop at nothing to retrieve it…”

Sterling Macer, Jr., John Fleck, Susan Priver, Micki Jackson, Tomas Boykin, and Nick Heyman star in Dead Mail. Preview the film with an exclusive image gallery below.
