So “Ash vs. Evil Dead” Finally Revealed Ash’s Middle Name Last Night

Published

We now know what the “J” stands for, Evil Dead fans.

On last night’s episode of “Ash vs. Evil Dead, titled ‘Unfinished Business,’ Ash was visited by the ghost of Brock Williams, his father. Ash learned through Brock that a member of the Knights of Sumeria once came to his hardware store looking for Ash, the prophesied one from the Book of the Dead. After a struggle, Brock locked the man up in the hardware store’s cellar, where he died after some time; but not before using the Necronomicon’s “lost pages” to open a portal between our world and the netherworld.

It was during this It’s a Wonderful Life-inspired sequence that the Knights of Sumeria member revealed Ash’s middle name to us, for the first time in the franchise’s history…

Ashley Joanna Williams.

Thanks for that name, by the way,” Ash said to his dad. Brock replied, “That name gave you thick skin.” To which Ash retorted, “Yeah, thick from all the playground beatings.”

Last week we learned that Steve Buscemi had joined the cast of “Wednesday” Season 2 at Netflix, and Variety lets us know that Thandiwe Newton (“Westworld”) has also signed on.

Jenna Ortega is back as Wednesday Addams in the upcoming second season of Netflix’s “Wednesday,” with Steve Buscemi playing the new principal of Nevermore Academy.

Jenna Ortega stars in the hit series as Wednesday Addams, with Luis Guzmán playing Gomez and Catherine Zeta-Jones playing Morticia in Tim Burton’s Netflix series. Christina Ricci also appears in the show, playing a brand new role, with Fred Armisen as Uncle Fester.

“Wednesday” is described as “a sleuthing, supernaturally infused mystery charting Wednesday Addams’ years as a student at Nevermore Academy.” The series follows…

“Wednesday’s attempts to master her emerging psychic ability, thwart a monstrous killing spree that has terrorized the local town, and solve the supernatural mystery that embroiled her parents 25 years ago — all while navigating her new and very tangled relationships.”

Alfred Gough and Miles Millar (“Smallville”) are the writers and showrunners, with Tim Burton executive producing and directing several episodes of the show’s debut season.

We don’t know much about “Wednesday” Season 2 at the moment but Jenna Ortega has promised that the new season will be “bolder” and darker than the first season of the series.

“We’ve decided we want to lean into the horror more,” Ortega said last year.
