Starz Cancels Series

Starz has opted to cancel Ash vs. Evil Dead, its small-screen offshoot of the Evil Dead films. The Sam Raimi and Rob Tapert gore-filled comedy's April 29 season three finale will now serve as its series wrap-up.

"Ash vs. Evil Dead has taken audiences on a wild ride for three seasons thanks to the fantastic performances and creative efforts of Sam, Bruce, Rob, and the entire cast and crew. We are proud to send the show out with a bang … and a splat," said Carmi Zlotnik, president of programming at Starz.

Always renewed for an additional season before its premiere, the comedy launched in 2015 to 437,000 same-day viewers. Never a ratings breakout, Ash's ratings haul has dwindled over the years, with its April 15 installment slipping to 175,000 viewers (sans DVR).

"Ash vs. Evil Dead has been the ride of a lifetime," Campbell said. "Ash Williams was the role of a lifetime. It was an honor to reunite with Evil Dead partners Rob Tapert and Sam Raimi to give our tireless fans another taste of the outrageous horror/comedy they demanded. I will always be grateful to Starz for the opportunity to revisit the franchise that launched our careers."

The series finale, airing at 9 p.m., will see the Ghostbeaters put to the ultimate test to defeat a global demon infestation whose epicenter is Elk Grove, Michigan. Ash and company will gear up for battle one last time to save the world.
The decision to wrap the series, which was produced in-house, comes as Starz has been honing its scripted approach with series including recent critical favorite Counterpart as well as the upcoming Sweetbitter and Vida. The premium cabler's roster of scripted fare also includes American Gods, Outlander, Howard's End and Power. Ash joins recently canceled Survivor's Remorse at Starz.

More sad Evil Dead news: http://comicbook.com/horror/amp/2018/04/23/bruce-campbell-retired-ash-evil-dead-starz-army-of-darkness/

I don't blame him though. He's played that character for so long, and it's only fitting he leaves it behind him now after all this.

Well, even if we can't get an Ash and Mia movie, I still would like another movie in the canon.

I wonder how much of his statement was a kindness to fans to keep them from campaigning for a revival. With the ratings, it really has no chance of anyone picking it up.

I'm hoping the season ends in a good place. It would suck for some aspects of the story to not be resolved when the series ends.

I think this is a show that might've been better served if it premiered on one of the Big Three streaming services (Netflix, Hulu, or Amazon Prime) rather than a small, premium cable network that not a lot of people subscribe to, and probably wouldn't subscribe to just for one show. They apparently went to Starz because they didn't want to deal with Standards & Practices on basic cable, yet the streaming services don't seem to do much censoring of material either.

99% of Starz shows end after 3 seasons so I expected it to happen. I mean considering everything thats a solid run.
