On the bloody heels of yesterday's red-band trailer for the new Starz series Ash vs Evil Dead, we have a two-minute sneak-peek that goes behind the scenes of the new show. Star Bruce Campbell returns in the title role he made famous in Sam Raimi's original 1981 horror film. Raimi also returns as Executive Producer of the 10-episode half-hour series that premieres later this fall. Lucy Lawless, Ray Santiago, Dana DeLorenzo, and Jill Marie Jones join the cast for the latest supernatural adventure.
This new look inside the production of Ash vs Evil Dead goes a long way toward reassuring fans of the cult movie series that the signature humor and over-the-top gore will be carried onto the small screen. Campbell's likely to have quite a few new one-liners after this series is all said and done, but it remains to be seen just how badly he'll get banged up from wailing on Deadites all season. Let's hope he's got plenty of juice (and gasoline) in the tank!

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.
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.
“Ash vs Evil Dead” premieres Saturday, October 31st at 9:00pm ET/PT exclusively on STARZ with a 10-episode season.
