\"Mimi<\/a>
Mimi Rogers (seen here in Mad Men) is the latest name to join Ash Vs Evil Dead<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The cast of Sam Raimi’s Evil Dead<\/strong><\/em> spinoff\/sequel Ash Vs Evil Dead<\/strong><\/em> is continuing to expand, with the latest announcement being that Ginger Snaps<\/strong><\/em> and Austin Powers<\/strong><\/em> star Mimi Rogers is joining the production, accoring to a report on The Hollywood Reporter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

According to the show’s synopsis, she will be playing Suzy Maxwell, the mother of Kelly (Dana DeLorenzo), who has to cope with an awkward family reunion after being involved in a freak accident. As this is the world of Evil Dead<\/strong><\/em>, we’re going to guess that Deadites are involved in some way, as is Bruce Campbell’s Ash.<\/p>\n

Rogers joins a cast that already includes Lucy Lawless (Xena: Warrior Princess<\/strong><\/em>, Spartacus: Blood & Sand<\/strong><\/em>), Jill Marie Jones (Sleepy Hollow<\/strong><\/em>, American Horror Story<\/strong><\/em>) and Ray Santiago (In Time, Touch), in addition to DeLorenzo (Californication<\/strong><\/em>, Barely Famous<\/strong><\/em>) and Campbell.<\/p>\n

For those who are unaware, Ash Vs Evil Dead<\/strong><\/em> sees a down-on-his luck Ash, who having spent years avoiding any kind of responsibility, is spurred back into action by a fresh Deadite attack.<\/p>\n

Original director Sam Raimi wrote the first episode alongside his brother Ivan, and will also produce with Bruce Campbell and Rob Tapert, with Craig DiGregorio taking on showrunning duties.<\/p>\n

Ash Vs Evil Dead<\/em> will air on Starz in the US in 2015. For more on the biggest TV series, pick up the latest issue of SciFiNow<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
