New Photo For ASH VS. EVIL DEAD and NYCC Panel Plans
STARZ has released a new photo for Sam Raimi and Bruce Campbell’s Ash Vs. Evil Dead and they’ve also announced plans to bring the series to New York Comic Con next month!
Here’s yet another reason I’m sad that I’m not going to NYCC this year. There will be an autograph signing on Saturday, October 10th at 10am at Ash’s Trailer at the Inner Roadway. Later on that day, there will be a panel from 3pm to 4pm in the Hammerstein Ballroom.
Some of the cast and crew will be there to talk about the series, and I’m pretty confident that they’ll have some fun bloody footage to share with the fans.
The cast is led by Bruce Campbell (Evil Dead, “Burn Notice”) reprising his role of Ash Williams, the stock boy, aging lothario and chainsaw-handed monster hunter 30 years avoiding responsibility, maturity and the terrors of the Evil Dead. Rounding out the cast are Lucy Lawless (“Salem,” “Spartacus”) 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.
The 10-episode first season of the half-hour series is executive produced by Sam Raimi, Rob Tapert, Bruce Campbell, the original filmmakers, and Craig DiGregorio who serves as executive producer and showrunner. Ash vs Evil Dead is the long-awaited follow-up to the classic horror film The Evil Dead.
Ash vs. Evil Dead premieres Saturday, October 31st at 9:00pm.
