Don’t Expect An ‘Evil Dead 2’ Anytime Soon…
In the Fede Alvarez-directed 2013 remake/sequel Evil Dead, Jane Levy was introduced to horror audiences as Mia, a complimentary female version of Ash (played by Bruce Campbell). They were rumored to come face-to-face is a potential sequel, which was announced at the 2013 SXSW Film Festival where the film premiered.
Now, more than a year later, Sam Raimi announced at the San Diego Comic-Con that he and his brother are developing an “Evil Dead” television series, which would star Campbell as Ashley J. Williams, loyal S-Mart employee.
What does this mean for the long-gestured Evil Dead sequel? According to Levy, it probably won’t happen.
“I don’t think they’re gonna make it,” she tells AITH. “I mean, they’re always coming up with a new thing- now I hear they’re making a TV show. I was like, what? [Laughs]
“I honestly don’t know,” she continued, “but it doesn’t seem like there’s going to be an EVIL DEAD 2 anytime soon. At least, not with me in it.”
Something of important note is that she acknowledges that Raimi and company enjoy fucking with us. No joke.
“I think they just like exciting their fans and confusing them.”
Sure, poke a bear, see what happens.
As annoying as that may be, at least we know Raimi isn’t sitting around twiddling his thumbs. He knows we want more Evil Dead and he’s doing what he can to deliver. My assumption is that he’s busy with Army of Darkness 2, which would have nothing to do with Mia’s character. If they ever decided to continue the story, only then would Mia and Ash collide.

Jessica Chastain stars in the upcoming horror movie Other Mommy, and the film’s official MPA rating has arrived ahead of its release in theaters this coming Halloween season.
Other Mommy is Rated R for “some bloody violence, and language.”
From director Rob Savage (Host), Other Mommy is an adaptation of Josh Malerman’s (Bird Box) novel Incidents Around the House, and it’s in theaters October 9 from Universal.
Watch the official Other Mommy trailer below to begin this domestic nightmare.
From producer James Wan, one of the most influential architects of modern horror, and Blumhouse Atomic Monster, behind Backrooms and Obsession, comes a terrifying trip from breakout genre director Rob Savage, into the darkening world of a young girl, Bela, who forms a relationship with a sinister entity in her home who looks uncannily like her own mother.
Academy Award® winner Jessica Chastain (It Chapter Two, The Eyes of Tammy Faye) stars in dual roles as Bela’s mother and as “Other Mommy,” a manifestation of the entity.
Jay Duplass (Transparent, Industry) plays Daddo, Bela’s father, and Arabella Olivia Clark (The Housemaid, The Hand that Rocks the Cradle) plays Bela. The impressive supporting cast includes Actor Award nominee Dichen Lachman (Severance), Emmy and Tony Award nominee Arian Moayed (Succession) and screen legend Karen Allen (Indiana Jones).
Other Mommy is directed by Rob Savage (Host, The Boogeyman) from a screenplay by WGA award winner Nathan Elston, writer for the Emmy-winning sensation Succession, based on the New York Times bestselling novel Incidents Around the House by Josh Malerman (Bird Box).
