The STARZ Original series “Ash vs Evil Dead” released a behind-the-scenes
clip featuring series stars Bruce Campbell, Ray Santiago, Dana DeLorenzo and
Lucy Lawless, along with executive producers Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert and
showrunner Craig DiGregorio. The clip offers an inside look at the highly
anticipated series and reveals why Ash might be the most reluctant hero
ever. “Ash vs Evil Dead” premieres Saturday, October 31st at 9:00pm ET/PT
exclusively on STARZ with a 10-episode season.
Campbell reprises 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,” “Xena”) 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.
