Ash is back! But not before living it up in Florida for a well-deserved break after vanquishing the Evil Dead in season one of the Starz show. "Ash vs. Evil Dead" will return in the fall for a second run and the chainsaw-handed hero is making the most of his downtime, as seen in the first photo to tease the return of the show.
Bruce Campbell seems to be enjoying going back to the character that made him a staple in campy horror movies and shows. As Ash, he's making great use of his chainsaw hand to open up a beer keg with some college co-eds down in Florida. Not an Evil Dead in sight just yet but we know with Ash and Sam Raimi back behind-the-scenes, the minions of hell are not too far away.
Also returning for season two of "Ash vs. Evil Dead" is Lucy Lawless who shared with TV Insider that next season they're going "up the ante" on the show. More blood, more demons, and probably more booze.
As previously announced, Michelle Hurd will also be joining the show as one of Ash's old flames, perhaps to fan the fire with Ruby who was playing for the other team the whole time, and Lee Majors was signed on to play Ash's father.
Ted Raimi, brother of franchise creator, Sam Raimi, will also be joining the mix as Ash's best friend, who somehow missed the whole excitement back in 1981 when the first "Evil Dead" movie was released.
Although at the end of season one, Ash and his noble sidekicks, Pablo and Kelly, drove away from the cabin and all its demonic spawn in the finale, "The Dark One," we all know that it will not be the last time Ash will venture back into those woods and get his good hand back on the Necronomicon to conjure up all its evil within again.
And while he probably still be an emotionally stunted jerk most of the time, he's really the only one who can save the world and it's just the way we like it.
