Despite 1993’s Army of Darkness serving as Ash Williams’ most recent chainsaw-wielding adventure prior to the start of Ash vs Evil Dead, the events that occurred in that cult classic film were never once directly referenced.
However, it turns out that is about to change in a big way, when Ash vs Evil Dead season 2 gets underway.
Despite all the critical love and ratings success for season 1 of Starz’s Ash vs Evil Dead series, hardcore fans of Sam Raimi’s Evil Dead franchise may have noticed something peculiar.
During an interview with IGN at Comic-Con, Ash vs Evil Dead executive producer Rob Tapert revealed that the aforementioned rights issue has been cleared up, and that references to Army of Darkness are now fair game for the series to incorporate going forward.
