The official site for Ash vs Evil Dead has launched. Not much is there yet though. We’ll let you know when the full site launches.
Update: This might not be the official site. Starz usually hosts their shows on their own sites. We’ll keep you updated.

Chris Hardwick and the crew at Nerdist talk to Sam Raimi about his love of gardening, weird things that happened during the filming of The Evil Dead, and numerous TV shows he produces. Sam also talks about the new movie on video on demand, Murder of a Cat, produced by Sam and directed by his wife, Gillian Greene.
Bruce Campbell talks about the state of his character Ash in the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly:
“Ash has survivor’s guilt,” said Campbell. “You could have a [field day] with his PTSD. He’s a war vet. He doesn’t want to talk about it, and he’ll lie about that stump on his hand to impress the ladies. That’s what I look forward to playing – a guy with horrible flaws. In Army of Darkness he can’t memorize three words, and he’s responsible for the death of a hundred people – this is your lead character!”
Bruce was asked why we’re getting a television series instead of a movie:
“We realized if we made another movie, frankly, it would probably be too expensive,” Campbell admitted, “but in the format of a TV show, we could give people exactly what they wanted and expand the character and story even more. And we never burned Evil Dead as a franchise out – it’s not like we did 13 of these movies. So we felt like, what the heck, let’s give it a try.”
The Evil Dead television series titled Ash vs. The Evil Dead will debut sometime in 2015 on Starz. The series will be a half hour horror comedy following Ash as he takes a road trip to kill deadites with the help of two young helpers.

According to Entertainment Weekly, Starz has officially greenlighted the Evil Dead TV series set to debut in 2015. Sam Raimi will executive produce the series as well as write and direct the first episode, with Rob Tapert also executive producing. Bruce Campbell will be reprising his iconic career-making role as Ash.
The logline: “Bruce 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.”
