Ash vs Evil Dead is an American comedy horror television series developed by Sam Raimi, Ivan Raimi, and Tom Spezialy for the Starz network. It is set in Raimi's Evil Dead universe, with Bruce Campbell reprising his role as Ash Williams, and acts as a sequel to the original trilogy.
Ray Santiago, Dana DeLorenzo, and Lucy Lawless also star. The series is executive produced by Campbell, Raimi, Craig DiGregorio, and Robert Tapert, who produced all four Evil Dead films. The series premiered on October 31, 2015. Three days before the series' premiere, Starz renewed it for a second season, which premiered on October 2, 2016. On October 7, 2016, while at the New York Comic Con Starz announced that the series had been renewed for a third season.
The series is set approximately 30 years after the first three Evil Dead films. Ash Williams works at the "Value Stop" as a simple stock boy. Also working at the store is his friend Pablo and the object of Pablo's affections, Kelly. Ash has seemingly done very little with his life since returning from 1300 AD at the end of Army of Darkness, and the beginning of the series sees him living in a trailer and drinking alone in bars. However, Ash must soon renounce his comfortable existence and become a hero once more by taking up arms and facing the titular Evil Dead. Pablo and Kelly decide to join him on his quest to save humanity.
The series acts as a sequel to the original Evil Dead trilogy, although due to a rights issue the events of Army of Darkness could not be directly referenced in the first season of the show. In April 2015, the producers made it clear that they wanted to resolve the issue so that the events of Army of Darkness could be referenced in the show. In the summer of 2016, producer Robert Tabert stated that the rights issue had been solved and that references to Army of Darkness would appear from season two onward.
