During this year’s San Diego Comic-Con press conferences, a couple of tidbits escaped regarding where the second season of “Ash vs. Evil Dead” will go and the possibility of an Evil Dead 4.
i09 reports:
“So, Army of Darkness is owned by MGM, and we just never had a chance to properly reference it in the first season,” executive producer Rob Tapert explained. “I read somebody’s online thing, ‘Oh look, they’re only pulling from these two [Evil Dead] movies.’ This season, we do bring up Ash’s events in Army of Darkness and reference it. It was more that there wasn’t a place for it in our storytelling that we needed to talk about that. If he started blabbing to these shop clerks about, ‘Yeah, I went back to the Middle Ages and did all these things,’ [it would just be exposition]. But that is in his memory bank, and he’s going to pull it out at the appropriate time.”

As for Evil Dead 4…
“Nothing’s off the table,” Tapert said. “We’re thinking about what that could be and who that would please. Sam [Raimi] talked for many years, teasing the world that we were going to make Evil Dead 4. And that kind of turned into a TV series. Now Bruce [Campbell] and I are going, ‘Well, there’s a possibility of a movie here.’”
