It’s always hard to tell what is actually going on in the Evil Dead universe, as both Bruce Campbell and Sam Raimi often make comments that get us all excited for nothing. There’s a good chance this is another one of those situations, but we feel it’s worth mentioning.
Per Deadline, Campbell and Raimi took part in today’s Television Critics Association press tour, where they mostly talked about the upcoming Starz series “Ash vs. Evil Dead.” During the panel Raimi indicated that he’d be behind the camera on another film if Campbell were in front of it.
“This series will force us to make more movies. That’s only 10 [half] hours of programming; we need eight more movies,” Campbell joked, pointing out the way fans always want more than they’re getting. “Making a fourth movie would work. No matter what we give them, it will never be enough.”
Ain’t that the truth.

About “Ash vs. Evil Dead”
“Ash vs. Evil Dead” is the long-awaited follow-up to the classic horror film franchise The Evil Dead and will premiere on STARZ October 31, 2015. The 10-episode first season of the half-hour series is executive produced by Sam Raimi, Rob Tapert, Bruce Campbell, the original filmmakers of the franchise, and Craig DiGregorio, who serves as executive producer and showrunner.
Campbell is 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; Ray Santiago (“Touch,” Meet the Fockers) as Pablo Simon Bolivar, an idealistic immigrant who becomes Ash’s loyal sidekick; Dana DeLorenzo (A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas) as Kelly Maxwell, a moody wild child trying to outrun her past; and 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.
