First 'Ash Vs Evil Dead' Promo Is A Graphic Tease

Production hasn't even started on Ash vs. Evil Dead, but there's already a teaser for the upcoming Starz show. This first promo is a brief animated video that uses some familiar typography, sounds, and visual concepts to prime audiences for the return of Bruce Campbell as Sam Raimi's often-bludgeoned hero Ash. Check out the first Ash vs Evil Dead promo below.

This is set to air on Saturday with the return of Outlander, but thanks to Starz and THR you can see it online now.

Sam Raimi is directing the pilot, which he wrote with his brother Ivan Raimi and Tom Spezialy. The long-time Evil Dead producing team of Raimi, Campbell, and Robert Tapert are behind the show; Craig DiGregorio will serve as showrunner.

There's no premiere date for Ash vs Evil Dead at this point, but expect to see it in Fall 2015. Here's how Starz describes the show.

Bruce 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.

The cast is led by Bruce Campbell (Evil Dead, "Burn Notice") in the role of Ash Williams, Lucy Lawless ("Salem," "Spartacus") as Ruby a mysterious figure who believes Ash is the cause of the Evil outbreaks, 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, Ray Santiago ("Touch," Meet the Fockers) as Pablo Simon Bolivar, an idealistic immigrant who becomes Ash's loyal sidekick and Dana DeLorenzo (A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas) as Kelly Maxwell, a moody wild child trying to outrun her past.
