♦ Ash vs Evil Dead will end after its third seaosn, according to a report from Variety. Here’s the details…
Ash vs. Evil Dead has been canceled at Starz, Variety has confirmed.
The series will air its third season finale on 29 April, which will now serve as the series finale. The series saw Bruce Campbell reprise the role of Ash Williams, the chainsaw-wielding anti-hero tasked with saving the world from evil in the “Evil Dead” film franchise. The series also starred Dana DeLorenzo, Ray Santiago, and Lucy Lawless.
The third season saw Ash, having gone from murderous urban legend to humanity-saving hometown hero, discovering that he has a long-lost daughter who has been entrusted in his care. Meanwhile, Kelly (DeLorenzo) witnessed a televised massacre with Ruby’s (Lawless) fingerprints all over it, and she returned with a new friend to warn Ash and Pablo (Santiago) that evil wasn’t done with them yet.
Campbell was also an executive producer on the series, along with Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert from the original film franchise. The show had seen a steep fall off in its ratings during Season 3, averaging just a 0.08 rating in adults 18-49 and 177,000 viewers per episode with two episodes remaining in the season.
Starz has a current originals slate that includes Power, American Gods and Counterpart. They will also launch the shows Sweetbitter and Vida in May.
It is possible we may see the character back at some point in something else down the line.
