Looks like Army of Darkness will be part of Ash vs Evil Dead

During the first season of Ash vs Evil Dead there was some talk as to whether there would be any reference to Ash’s adventures in Army of Darkness. It seemed that this wouldn’t be happening due to various rights issues. However, it appears that has all been sorted out.

Executive Producer Rob Tapert was talking about the show at SDCC and had this to say about Army of Darkness.

That is fantastic news as I do love that film. I wonder if the Ash who travelled too far in time from the alternate ending will ever show up? Could be a good way of bringing in another Ash duplicate!

The possibility of a new Evil Dead movie is still on the cards.

This October, Ash and team are back and there will be blood. Insanely awesome amounts of blood.

Season 2 of Ash vs. Evil Dead roars back into action with Ash leaving his beloved Jacksonville and returning to his hometown of Elk Grove. There, he confronts Ruby. The former enemies have to form an uneasy alliance as Elk Grove soon becomes the nucleus of evil.

The cast is led by Bruce Campbell in the role of Ash Williams; Lucy Lawless as Ruby, who now possesses the powerful Necronomicon; Ray Santiago as Pablo Simon Bolivar, Ash’s loyal sidekick dealing with the trauma he suffered in the cabin; and Dana DeLorenzo as Kelly Maxwell, who, grief-stricken after the death of her parents, plots revenge against The Evil Dead.

Lee Majors, Ted Raimi, and Michelle Hurd join the series this year as Brock Williams, Ash’s father; Chet Kaminski, Ash’s childhood best friend; and Linda, Ash’s high school love, respectively.
