Bruce Campbell‘s love for the Evil Dead saga helped spur Ash Vs. Evil Dead in the first place, but the Starz star is ready to hang up the chainsaw. Following last week’s cancellation, Campbell claims he’s “retired” from fighting Deadites.
That famous chainsaw is officially out of gas. Starz has confirmed that Evil Dead sequel series Ash Vs. Evil Dead will not return for a fourth season, and will wrap for good with the coming finale.
Ash is back, and he’s no match for the hell of high school. See for yourself in a first trailer for the 2018 return of Starz’s Ash Vs. Evil Dead, as Season 3 makes Bruce Campbell a proud papa bear amid all the carnage.
If anything seemed amiss about the Ash Vs. Evil Dead Season 2 finale, it might have something to do with the original pitch being completely vetoed by producer Bob Tapert. Now, departing showrunner Craig DiGregorio gets brutally candid about the original plan for Ash and Kelly, as well as a Back to the Future II-style return to the original Evil Dead.
You didn’t think that Ash’s battle against the Deadites would be over by Season 2, did you? Only one episode into our second year of Ash Vs. Evil Dead, and Starz is already pulling the starter cord on a third season due to arrive in 2017.
