About this show:

Ash vs Evil Dead Season 4 is cancelled despite the third season ending on a big cliffhanger. Bruce Campbell who played Ash finally announced the news of Ash vs Evil Dead Season 4 getting cancelled in a tweet and thanked Starz for the opportunity.

When Ash vs Evil Dead was streamed on Netflix, it became instantly popular with the subscribers. But the viewership during the real-time broadcast of the third season on Starz witnessed a steady decline. The network decided not to depend on the viewership received from Netflix and officially announced that Ash vs Evil Dead Season 4 was cancelled.

This news took the fans by surprise who rallied for the renewal. The fans launched an enthusiastic #BringBackBoomstick campaign on social media referring to Ash's weapon that he called broomstick. The campaign made some noise but not enough to persuade the network to renew or the streaming service to pick up the show instead.

If Ash vs Evil Dead Season 4 did happen, the creators shared that they would have focused on Ash navigating through a post-apocalyptic world together with his trusted sidekicks.

Ash vs Evil Dead is a comedy horror TV show featuring Bruce Campbell who reprises his "Evil Dead" film role as heroic, chainsaw-handed monster fighter Ash Williams, now an aging lothario who has successfully avoided responsibility, maturity, and heinous villains for the past 30 years. Constantly peering over his shoulder, Ash somehow knew that the Evil Dead would return for him. That day arrives when Ash commits an act of carelessness, unleashing a Deadite plague that threatens to destroy mankind. Co-starring in the half-hour series are Lucy Lawless as mysterious Ruby; Ray Santiago as Ash's loyal sidekick, Pablo Simon Bolivar; and Dana DeLorenzo as moody wild child Kelly Maxwell.
