On Monday, the cable network Starz announced a new series, _Ash vs. Evil Dead_, a spin-off of the Sam Raimi movie series that will find actor Bruce Campbell reprising his role as Ash Williams, the New York _Times_ [reports](http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/11/10/evil-dead-to-rise-again-as-starz-series/?smid=nytimesarts&%5Fr=0 "undefined"). The 10-episode series is expected next year. Raimi, who went on to direct the Tobey Maguire _Spider-Man_ trilogy, will direct the first episode of the series, which he wrote with his brother, Ivan Raimi. The first _Evil Dead_ movie, considered a cult classic, dates back to 1981. \[[_NYT_](http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2014/11/10/evil-dead-to-rise-again-as-starz-series/?smid=nytimesarts&%5Fr=0&gwh=9F6D415818B840AC0E320FDAC3D34D4E&gwt=pay "undefined")\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3576971/evil-dead-starz/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3576971/evil-dead-starz/"},"headline":"Evil Dead Spin-Off Coming to Starz","datePublished":"2014-11-10T23:02:33.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T11:20:57.975Z","description":"Bruce Campbell will play Ash Williams again","url":"https://time.com/3576971/evil-dead-starz/","keywords":["movies"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt84838e58a3d96f18/69876817f887dc4740e884d8/evil-dead.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Nolan Feeney","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/nolan-feeney/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt84838e58a3d96f18/69876817f887dc4740e884d8/evil-dead.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"evil-dead","caption":"Bruce Campbell and Theresa Tilly in the 1981 film The Evil Dead","creditText":"New Line Cinema","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/movies/","name":"movies"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3576971/evil-dead-starz/","name":"Evil Dead Spin-Off Coming to Starz"}}]}] ```
