Starz network clearly have a lot of faith in their upcoming horror/comedy TV series Ash Vs. Evil Dead; as despite not even having premiered in the US, Starz have renewed Ash Vs. Evil Dead for a second season.
With those in charge of the show; Sam Raimi, Ivan Raimi, Bruce Campbell, and Rob Tapert; having previously stated they’ve plans for several seasons of the show, it should come as welcome news. Fans will also be delighted as it hints at not only a high-quality production, but means we’ll get to see far more Evil Dead action from the people who brought us the original film trilogy.
Campbell returns as Ash (after 30 years avoiding the Evil Dead – in the show) for Ash Vs. Evil Dead; premiering in the US, on Starz, on Saturday night. Sadly no UK network has optioned the rights as yet – but here’s hoping the news of a second season spurs a few UK channels into action, and we get to see it on this side of the Atlantic soon.
