To further whet the appetite of fans who are eagerly waiting for its opening, the network has released a handful of details in the form of titles and synopses for episodes 1-9.
Citing International Business Times, the first episode titled "El Jefe" revealed that after three decades since his last fight with the Deadite, the "badass blowhard" Ash Williams (Bruce Campbell) "unleashes the Evil in an act of stoned stupidity, bringing Deadite mayhem into his life again."
The segment to follow is "Bait." It says that Special Agent Fisher (Jill Marie Jones) is on Ash's trail. Pablo (Ray Santiago) has finally got his first taste of blood "in a manic battle" while Kelly's (Dana Delorenzo) life changes due to a revelation that comes her way.
"Books from the Beyond" meanwhile finds a mysterious woman going over the destruction at Kelly's parents' farm. The trio, on the other hand, reach Books from Beyond with the Necronomicon while Fisher is yet again trapped in an "inexplicable situation."
Episode 4 titled "Brujo" sees Ruby (Lucy Lawless) helping Fisher understand her connection to the Evil Dead. Ash and Co., on the other hand, pick up the trail using the clue from the demon Eligos, but Kelly pays a price.
Episode 5 named "The Host" will find Kelly in a grave situation. This would eventually force Pablo to make a bold move and Ash to reveal the other side of himself. Ruby and Fisher are still on the hunt for Ash.
Episode 6 "The Killer of Killers" is expected to find Ash already armed with the knowledge to deal the Necronomicon while the youngsters notice "something ominous." Fisher shows up "for an almighty showdown with her former boss."
"Fire in the Hole" meanwhile sees Ash and the team joining Fisher as they arrive at the survivalist camp. Meanwhile, more information is revealed of Ruby's intention.
