ASH VS. EVIL DEAD Season 2 Isn't Just Bloody Gore, Bruce Campbell Offers Details on Ash's Story Arc
It's no secret that Ash Vs. Evil Dead Season 2 is going to deliver an insane amount of blood and gore, but there's more to the franchise than that. There's a great story to tell and that story follows Ash to his hometown of Elk Grove, where he will confront several family and friends from his past including Ash’s dad, Brock (played by Lee Majors), and Ash’s childhood best friend, Chet (played by Ted Raimi).
In a recent interview with Comingsoon, series star Bruce Campbell talked about Ash's story arc and offered some information on Season 2:
"He goes home and he has to deal with the mess he made three years ago. He has to make good with the town that he basically left in shambles and fight the evil dead... and save the town. That’s a hell of an assignment. He has to deal with his father and his old pal Chet and his ex-girlfriend and sh*t like that, old nemeses, boyhood nemeses, you know, all the sh*t you run into when you go back home, plus deadites."
So Ash is going to be dealing with a lot of shit this next season. Campbell went on to say that even though the next season will be filled with lots of gore, it will also include more story and character development:
"So it’s cool. I know everybody talks about gore, but for all the talk about the gore, this season actually has a, I would say, substantially more character development. You’re going to spend a lot more time with your pal Ash and find out what makes him tick, and his friends are on a crazy journey this year, too. Kelly’s being schooled by Ruby. It’ll be interesting."
Ash has always been such a fun, crazy, and fascinating character and it's awesome that they will be exploring him even more in this upcoming season.
Ash vs Evil Dead Season 2 premieres on Starz on October 2nd.
