Want more classic Evil Dead? Well you’re gonna get it! As early as next year! The film will be adapted to television with a 10-episode straight-to-series order from Starz for a 2015 premiere.
The follow-up to the classic film franchise reteams the original filmmakers, director Sam Raimi, longtime producing partner Rob Tapert and star Bruce Campbell who will serve as executive producers. 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.
Sounds awesome! Are you planning to tune in?
