Groovy news for fans of The Evil Dead and its reluctant hero Ash. Starz announced today its new “Ash Vs. Evil Dead” television series for 2015 from producers Sam Raimi, Rob Tapert, and Bruce Campbell, who reprises his role as boomstick bad boy Ashley J. Williams.

Raimi said:

Evil Dead has always been a blast. Bruce, Rob, and I are thrilled to have the opportunity to tell the next chapter in Ash’s lame, but heroic saga. With his chainsaw arm and his ‘boomstick,’ Ash is back to kick some monster butt. And brother, this time there’s a truckload of it.

“Ash Vs. Evil Dead” picks up 30-years later after Ash’s last battle with the Deadites. He’s forced out of hiding when evil forces emerge to eat all of humanity’s soul. Raimi will co-write and direct the pilot episode. The series will include 10 30-minute episodes.
