Let’s hope Ash Williams can get his job back at Value Stop. Starz has cancelled the Ash Vs Evil Dead TV show after three seasons. According to reports, season three will run its course, and the third season finale episode, “The Mettle of Man,” will serve as the Ash Vs Evil Dead TV series finale.
A Starz horror drama, Ash Vs Evil Dead stars Bruce Campbell, Lucy Lawless, Ray Santiago, Dana DeLorenzo, and B Arielle Carver-O’Neill. The gory series centers on Ash (Campbell) who is now Elk Grove, Michigan’s hometown hero. In season three, Ash finds his long-lost daughter, Brandy Barr (Carver-O’Neill), and naturally tangles with the Evil Dead.
Deadline reports:
There will be no fourth season for Starz’s Ash Vs Evil Dead.

“Ash v 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 for Starz.

What do you think? Are you a fan of the Ash Vs Evil Dead TV series? Is it ending at the right time? Had it been up to you, would Starz have cancelled or renewed this TV show for a fourth season?
I honestly think they should at least make a hour or two hour special to kick off season 4.1 and literally just make it one episode because the ride was amazing just to cut it off before the rollercoaster hit the down sloap. Was excited then very not so grooved to find out it was cancelled
Well honestly i think they should have made one more season, don’t even need to be a full season. Just the way season 3 ended I really think that was a kick in the nuts. Or make a movie to finish it off properly and the franchise tie up all the lose ends.
Agreed
