‘Ash vs Evil Dead’ Begins Filming – First Photo Arrives

Starz has shared the first photo from the set of Ash vs Evil Dead, the new Evil Dead series from executive producers Sam Raimi, Rob Tapert, and Bruce Campbell. Campbell also stars in the series, reprising his role as Ash in the half-hour series which will air on Starz this fall.

Filming is currently underway in New Zealand with Craig DiGregorio serving as showrunner. The cast also includes Lucy Lawless, Ray Santiago, Dana DeLorenzo, and Jill Marie Jones. Sam Raimi co-wrote and is directing the first episode.

The Plot:

Campbell will be reprising his role as 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.
