“Things like this take forever.”

Bruce Campbell addresses the delays in the Ash vs Evil Dead Animated series. Campbell is known for his work on the evil Dead Series that started with The evil dead in 1981. Campbell stars in the series as Ash Williams, a college student who must survive after the four people he vacations with are subjected to demonic possession. Ash remains the main character in the following two films: Evil Dead II And Army of Darkness. The evil dead was also developed into a TV series titled Ash vs Evil Deadwhich ran for three seasons.

In an exclusive interview with Screen rant for his new show Hysteria!Campbell discusses the status of the Ash vs Evil Dead animated adaptation. Campbell initially confirmed that “[they]We are developing an animated series.” The evil Dead However, the actor didn’t seem to have any concrete information about when the series would be released. Instead, he stated that “However, things like this take forever,” and that’s why you should visit him again in a few years. Check out Campbell’s full quote below:

Well, we’re developing an animated series, so I can still do that. However, things like this take forever. So check back in about five years. [Chuckles]

What this means for The Ash Vs. animated show “Evil Dead.”

The show’s stage of development is unclear

Campbell’s statement comes nearly three years after the actor first expressed interest in the project in December 2021. In July 2022, the actor confirmed that a Ash vs Evil Dead The animated show is in talks, and last year he confirmed it was in active development. At the time, Campbell mentioned that she “actively pursue it,” while still taking note of this evil Dead Series creator Sam Raimi is “a busy guy.” From the latest quote, it appears that development is not as active as the 2023 quote would suggest.

Campbell is also right that animations can take a long time. With a series as popular as The evil deadRaimi, Campbell and the rest of their team will want to make sure they get it right. However, if they are still in the very early stages of development, the desire for perfection on a project like this could slow things down further Ash vs Evil Dead Animated series. Other adult animated series such as: InvincibleIt also took years between seasons. Even if the series is a success, it could be a while before the next part comes out.

What could make Ash vs. Evil Dead progress faster?

Campbell has a new show out

That means, There is an element that could exert pressure Ash vs Evil Dead move a little faster. This is the resurgence of Campbell’s horror/horror-comedy popularity with his upcoming show Hysteria!. Hysteria! releases this Friday, October 18th, and features Campbell in a key guest role. If Hysteria! proves popular, I imagine Raimi and his team are more suited to driving development forward Ash vs Evil Dead Animated series are a priority.

Set thirty years after Army of Darkness, Ash vs. Evil Dead is a black comedy/horror series that stars Bruce Campbell once again in the role of Ash Williams. Ash has spent the last 30 years avoiding the responsibility, maturity, and horrors of the evil Dead until a Deadite plague threatens to destroy all of humanity. Forced to come out of his fighting retirement, Ash teams up with two colleagues at the Value Stop store to take on the evil Dead.
