The new Evil Dead spinoff is in development alongside the previously announced spinoff, which will be directed and co-written by Sébastien Vaniček.


“We’re out of the cabin, Sam (Raimi) doesn’t have to direct, I don’t have to play Ashsaid Campbell. “The trick is to take the elements that people like, which are innocent people being tortured by a malicious entity and people who don’t have the skills to stop it.”

That’s what I’m going to do. I’m going to do Ash’s voice all day long because my voice hasn’t aged like I have.” As for the two new films, it has been reported that director Sébastien Vaniček will direct one of the films, while Francis Galluppi will write and direct his own spin-off film. There are currently no official release dates for the two films.
