\"-1\"<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 It\u2019s happening. After years of teasing what\u2019s next in the Evil Dead<\/strong><\/em> saga, Starz announced that Ash would return to chainsaw Deadites in new TV series Ash Vs Evil Dead<\/strong><\/em>. We were cautiously optimistic\u2026 until we saw the trailer. Now we\u2019re wildly optimistic. \u201cWe\u2019ve always come here promoting other projects, and it\u2019s always been the fans at Comic-Con that say \u2018Screw that, where\u2019s Evil Dead<\/strong><\/em>!\u201d laughed Raimi. And now we\u2019ve got it.<\/p>\n

1 ORIGINAL PARTS\"ash-vs-evil-dead-tv-show\"<\/a>
\nWe would have been very sceptical of any sort of continuation of Ash\u2019s story without the involvement of the original creators, so it was a tremendous relief to see that Bruce Campbell, Sam Raimi and Robert Tapert are present, working with showrunner Craig DiGregorio to make sure the Evil Dead<\/strong><\/em> spirit remains.<\/p>\n

2 ASH IS BACK\u2026\"ASH-EVIL-DEAD-LARGE-1_1200_746_81_s\"<\/a>
\nThe Evil Dead<\/strong><\/em> remake was fine. But the real Evil Dead<\/strong><\/em> will always live and die with Ash. It\u2019s about 30 years since he last saw off the Deadites, and a lot of things haven\u2019t changed. He\u2019s still a stock boy, and a loud-mouthed braggart, but perhaps most importantly, he\u2019s still got the boomstick and chainsaw hand ready to go.<\/p>\n

3 \u2026BUT HE\u2019S NOT ALL THERE\"Ash-vs-Evil-Dead-Bruce-Campbell-wink\"<\/a>
\nHe lives in a trailer, he drinks, he sleeps around, and he doesn\u2019t do a lot of cardio. He\u2019s also got more than one screw loose thanks to living with the knowledge of the terrifying evil in the world. \u201cAsh, even in his prime, would be the wrong guy to save the world,\u201d Campbell deadpanned. \u201cNow he\u2019s 30 years older and he has to save the world. I\u2019m really worried for the world!\u201d<\/p>\n

4 BAD-ASS NEW FACES\"lucy-lawless-ash-vs-evil-dead\"<\/a>
\nHelping this older, wheezier Ash on his way to saving the world are fellow Value Stop employees Pablo (Ray Santiago) and Kelly (Dana DeLorenzo), who have to put up with his bullshit and advice. Meanwhile, Michigan state trooper Amanda Fisher (Jill Marie Jones) is hunting Ash, believing him to be the man behind a series of gruesome murders, while genre legend Lucy Lawless is mysterious monster hunter Ruby.<\/p>\n

5 PROPER GORE EFFECTS\"Ash-vs-Evil-Dead-7\"<\/a>
\nAs evidenced by the Comic-Con trailer, Ash Vs Evil Dead<\/strong><\/em> is not going to be light on gore. The show is going out on Starz in the US, which showed the Raimi-produced Spartacus. With a messy interaction between a broken bottle and a neck, a knife through a hand, a killer doll and a Deadite turning her head all the way around in the teaser, we\u2019re not worried.<\/p>\n

Ash Vs Evil Dead<\/em> starts 31 October on Starz in the US, with a UK airing to follow. Read more about the series inside the latest issue of SciFiNow.<\/a>
