In 2015, Bruce Campbell retired from playing one of his most iconic roles, Ash Williams, from the Evil Dead series after the cancellation of the Ash vs. Evil Dead movie.
Recently, while promoting his latest Peacock series, Hysteria, Campbell revealed news of his next project as Ash, but reprised in a new way.
In an article from Entertainment Weekly, Campbell teases the new project: “We are developing an animated version, like a series. I’ll do that. I’ll do Ash’s voice all day long because my voice hasn’t aged as much as I have.”
Bruce continues, explaining that the series relies on the overall strength of the show’s story: “We’re out of the cabin, Sam [Raimi] doesn’t have to direct, I don’t have to star as Ash. The trick is to take the elements that people like, which is innocent people being tortured by a malicious entity, and it’s people who have no skills to stop it.”
Fans of the Evil Dead series can look forward to this fresh take on the beloved franchise, blending the classic elements of horror and humor with the flexibility of animation. As Bruce Campbell lends his iconic voice to Ash once more, audiences can anticipate a thrilling and entertaining continuation of the story we love.
