Plot Synopsis
Based on the classic horror film franchise THE EVIL DEAD, Bruce 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. Ash is joined by Pablo Simon Bolivar, an idealistic immigrant who becomes his loyal sidekick; meanwhile, the mysterious Ruby believes Ash is the cause of the Evil outbreaks, and Amanda Fisher, a disgraced Michigan State Trooper, sets out to find Ash and prove his responsibility in the grisly murder of her partner. ASH VS. EVIL DEAD, with a 10-episode first season, reteams the original filmmakers -- director Sam Raimi with longtime producing partner Rob Tapert -- and star Bruce Campbell. Raimi directed the first episode. ASH VS. EVIL DEAD scares up its second season premiere entitled "Home" on Sunday, October 2, 2016 at 8pm ET/PT on Starz. The second season roars back into action with an extended 35-minute episode where Ash is forced to leave his cushy retirement in Jacksonville, return to his hometown of Elk Grove, Michigan, and mount up once again to face The Evil Dead. This time, he'll have to form an uneasy alliance with his former enemy Ruby as Elk Grove becomes the nucleus to the most dangerous horror Ash has faced to date. The upcoming season of ASH VS. EVIL DEAD will include ten half-hour episodes. New cast members include: Lee Majors as Brock Williams, Ash's father; Ted Raimi as Chet Kaminski, Ash's childhood best friend; and Michele Hurd as Linda, Ash's high-school love, respectively. Season 3 of ASH VS. EVIL DEAD premiered on Sunday, February 25, 2018 at 9pm ET/PT on Starz. The wickedly gore-filled series stars Bruce Campbell as Ash Williams, the chainsaw-wielding anti-hero tasked with saving the world from evil; Lucy Lawless as Ruby, the unpredictable foe and occasional ally who has strong ties to the origin of the "Necronomicon;" Ray Santiago plays Pablo Simon Bolivar, Ash's loyal sidekick and eternal optimist; and Dana DeLorenzo returns as Kelly Maxwell, orphaned in Season One and ready to kick some evil ass. The upcoming season also finds Ash discovering his long lost daughter, Brandy Barr, played by newcomer Arielle Carver-O'Neill. The third season finds Ash's status in Elk Grove, Michigan has changed from murderous urban legend to humanity-saving hometown hero. When Kelly witnesses a televised massacre with Ruby's fingerprints all over it, she returns with a new friend to warn Ash and Pablo that evil isn't done with them yet. Blood is thicker than water in the battle of good vs Evil Dead! In the season opener, "Family," Ash settles in and opens a hardware store after being the hero of Elk Grove by defeating evil and saving humanity. But his peace is short lived when evil returns with a target close to his heart.
