Bruce Campbell is ready to play as Ash again
No Bruce Campbell, no Evil Dead.
Since the announcement of the possible Evil Dead tv series was announced, everyone is up in arms about Bruce Campbell dusting off his chainsaw and boomstick! Bruce himself took to Twitter to quell our hungry minds about the casting choices for the show, by confirming that he himself would reprise his role if offered.

While it comes as no surprise that Bruce Campbell is more than willing to return to the set of Evil Dead, it’s still too far to tell if the Rami’s have that in mind for the show. What’s still unknown is how the 2013 remake will fit into the universe of the classical canon, if at all.
The second curiosity is what the premise would be, and how much time will have lapsed between the Army of Darkness, and the remake. There is also the possibility that we could draw stories from the video games, or the comics where we could see Freddy or Jason.
When Evil Dead does premiere in all of its B-movie glory, it will be one of the highest rated shows to date, but what network would pick it up? Most speculate the Sci-fi channel, and many others assume NBC since they have started branching off into paranormal areas with shows like Constantine, and the recently cancelled Revolution.
Ash knows how to swing a chainsaw like a boss.
While either network would be fine, we can rest assured, that Bruce Campbell will have a heavy hand in the show’s adaptation, as well as the producing of its content. What do you think, will you tune in to watch more about the Necronomicon, or see the adventures of Ash in Evil Dead the tv series?
Tell us your thoughts, and keep reading for more Comic-con announcements!
