"Ash vs Evil Dead," a 10-episode half-hour series, is the long-awaited follow-up to the classic horror film, The Evil Dead.

Lee Majors (Do You Believe), Ted Raimi ("Xena: Warrior Princess," Spider-Man) and Michelle Hurd ("Law & Order: SVU") 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.
