Above we have your very first look at genre fav Lucy Lawless (“Salem,” “Spartacus”) as RUBY, a mysterious figure who believes Ash (Bruce Campbell) is the cause of the Evil outbreaks in the Starz original series “Ash vs Evil Dead.”
In an early interview, producer Robert Tapert explained Lawless’ role, which begins in understanding Jill Marie Jones’ character.
Jones plays Amanda Fisher, “a police officer who sees something that she doesn’t believe. This causes her great problems in her profession,” he explained. “She is on the trail to hunt down Ash because she believes he is responsible for the series of bodies [she finds] as a Michigan State Police Detective. She teams with Ruby (Lucy Lawless), [who] knows something about the Evil Dead and is also on hunt for Ash.”
Mimi Rogers and Ray Santiago also star with ten half-hour episodes beginning their run on October 31, 2015.
In “Ash vs Evil Dead,” “Ash, the stock boy, aging lothario and chainsaw-handed monster hunter, 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.”
