"According to Deadline Sam Raimi has inked a 10-episode deal with Starz for a brand new series titled “Ash vs Evil Dead.” The series will premiere in 2015 and the pilot episode will be directed by Sam Raimi based on a script he co-wrote with his brother Ivan Raimi. Not only that, but Bruce Campbell has confirmed that he will indeed star in the series as Ash. Here’s how the premise of the series is being described by Deadline: 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. While some might have prefered a new movie, a series on Starz is pretty much the next best thing. This isn’t a network that’s forced to restrain the violence due to advertisers. They let the blood and mayhem flow on that channel, so we’ll be able to get “Evil Dead” the way fans like it. Plus ten episodes gives you plenty of time for character development will retaining all the undead action." Would have preferred a new movie with Campbell, but I'll take this. Should be a pretty fun ride.

I don't even have that channel, either have to see if I can get it on Roku or just download the episodes. But, I am interested in seeing this.

A series might be even better, because instead of an hour and a half, now we can get hours and hours of Bruce fighting Deadites!

Some casting news for this... "Ash vs. Evil Dead Ray Santiago (“Touch,” Meet the Fockers) will play the role of Pablo Simon Bolivar and Dana DeLorenzo (A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas) will play Kelly Maxwell in the STARZ original series “Ash vs Evil Dead.” The series is the long-awaited follow-up to the classic horror film franchise The Evil Dead and is set to film on location in New Zealand this spring and premiere on STARZ in late 2015. Pablo Simon Bolivar is an idealistic immigrant who becomes Ash’s loyal sidekick – a Sancho Panza to Ash’s Don Quixote. Pablo believes in Ash’s heroism even if Ash himself doesn’t. Kelly Maxwell is a moody wild child trying to outrun her past. Reluctantly dragged into the fight against Evil with Ash and Pablo, Kelly finds a different kind of family with her fellow Deadite slayers. Santiago has recurred on television shows including “Bad Judge,” “Raising Hope,” and “Dexter”. Additional film credits also include Suburban Gothic, Sex Ed, In Time, American Son and Girlfight among others. DeLorenzo’s previous television credits include “Sullivan & Son,” “Workaholics,” “2 Broke Girls,” “Californication,” “Growing Up Fisher” and “Eagleheart” among others. Santiago and DeLorenzo join previously announced cast member Bruce Campbell (Ashley J. Williams)." link

Bruce looking healthy there. He was a bit chunky in Burn Notice. Not that that hindered his acting there.
