Starz

Since when has Ash Williams ever struck you as the patient type? Rather than wait until Sunday for Ash Vs. Evil Dead to resume its war against the Deadites in Season 2, you can pick up the chainsaw right now, as Starz releases the full premiere online early.

It wasn’t terribly surprising of Starz to cap its Treasure Island prequel Black Sails at a healthy four seasons, given the programming shift to Sundays and several major incoming dramas, but don’t expect the pirate drama to go quietly. See for yourself in the first official Season 4 trailer of the final year, ahead of a January premiere.

At least some part of the year will always be spent in #Droughtlander, but the wait will end sooner than you think. As Outlander Season 3 begins production in Scotland, take a look at the first Starz photo, as well as a fresh synopsis for Book 3.

These days, it'd take at least two years to watch only only one season's worth of #PeakTV, a quarter of which won't even be around a second year. You’d need some sort of absurd television guidance periodical to navigate it all, but because we love you' we've put together an in-depth look at 30 major must-see premieres kicking off as early as August 31. Come, wrap some barbed wire around your bats and grab a coffee in Stars Hollow, as we descend into the madness that is Fall TV 2016!

The first season of Starz’s Ash Vs. Evil Dead wonderfully picked up with the title character after decades of absence, and Season 2 will expand the history of our aging stockboy lothario even more. A new inside look at Season 2 takes Ash and co. back to his hometown of Elk Grove, picking up a bit of history left behind by the original Sam Raimi films.

Ash Vs. Evil Dead had plenty of history to draw on for the Starz take on Bruce Campbell’s chainsaw-wielding champion, though rights issues prevented any reference to the medieval Army of Darkness. Then, producers claimed Season 2 was free and clear to pay homage to Ash’s past adventures, but according to groovy Bruce himself, those reports were exaggerated.

Starz and Bryan Fuller’s American Gods has gone a bit quiet since the trailer premiere at Comic-Con and subsequent TCA panel, but a Fuller reunion is always worth the wait. Enter Pushing Daisies alum Kristin Chenoweth decked out as Easter, the latest American God given a photo tease.

Initial promotion for Ash Vs. Evil Dead Season 2 telegraphed that Lucy Lawless’ Ruby would join the side of the angels (ish), leaving a deadly void for a new brand of evil to cram itself into. Said villain is finally here, as a new Season 2 photo reveals a Sons of Anarchy alum as the evil Baal, a bigger threat than Ruby herself.

Ash Williams usually isn’t one to arrive early, but fans of Ash Vs. Evil Dead are in for a treat. Not only does Season 2 have an official October premiere date, nearly a full month earlier than last year, but so too do we have fresh images and key art from the new season.

Starz’s efforts to take Steven Soderbergh’s The Girlfriend Experience to TV appear to have paid off, but don’t get too attached to any characters from Season 1. The network has officially confirmed an extended renewal for Season 2, albeit one with “entirely new characters and plotlines.”
