Original filmmakers Sam Raimi, Rob Tapert and Bruce Campbell Serve as
Executive Producers on the Series starring Campbell and Lucy Lawless among
others
Beverly Hills, Calif., April 2, 2015 – The STARZ Original series “Ash vs
Evil Dead” released a first look motion graphic and teaser art for the
10-episode first season of the half-hour series executive produced by Sam
Raimi, Rob Tapert, Bruce Campbell, the original filmmakers of the franchise,
and Craig DiGregorio who will serve as executive producer and showrunner.
The teaser will premiere on-air during the “Outlander” premiere on Saturday,
April 4 at 9 PM ET/PT. “Ash vs Evil Dead,” which will film in New Zealand,
is the long-awaited follow-up to the classic horror film franchise The Evil
Dead and is set to premiere on STARZ in late 2015.
Campbell will be reprising his role as Ash, the stock boy, aging lothario
and chainsaw-handed monster hunter who 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.
The cast is led by Bruce Campbell (Evil Dead, “Burn Notice”) in the role of
Ash Williams, Lucy Lawless (“Salem,” “Spartacus”) as Ruby a mysterious
figure who believes Ash is the cause of the Evil outbreaks, Jill Marie Jones
(“Sleepy Hollow”) as Amanda Fisher, a disgraced Michigan State Trooper set
to find our anti-hero Ash and prove his responsibility in the grisly murder
of her partner, Ray Santiago (“Touch,” Meet the Fockers) as Pablo Simon
Bolivar, an idealistic immigrant who becomes Ash’s loyal sidekick and Dana
DeLorenzo (A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas) as Kelly Maxwell, a moody
wild child trying to outrun her past.
Raimi is directing the first episode of “Ash vs Evil Dead” that he wrote
with Ivan Raimi (Darkman, Army of Darkness, Drag Me to Hell), Craig
DiGregorio (“Workaholics,” “Chuck”) and Tom Spezialy (“Chuck,” “Reaper,”
“Desperate Housewives”). Raimi will also serve as executive producer, along
with Rob Tapert (Evil Dead, “Spartacus,” Xena: Warrior Princess”) and Bruce
Campbell (Evil Dead, “Burn Notice”) along with Craig DiGregorio
(“Workaholics,” “Chuck”) who will serve as executive producer/showrunner.
Ivan Raimi will co-executive produce and Aaron Lam (“Spartacus”) will serve
as producer.
