Many fans are in high anticipation for the revival of the '80s horror franchise 'Evil Dead' adapted into an Starz series. Sam Raimi has been reported to be directing the first episode of the ten episode series titled 'Ash vs. The Evil Dead'.

Bruce Campbell will be reprising his role as Ash in the action horror show, but as of recent news about the supporting cast has been revealed.

Actors Ray Santiago and Dana DeLorenzo have both been casted to play lead roles in the series. Santiago will play the character Pablo Simon Bolivar, and DeLorenzo will portray Kelly Maxwell.

The network has provided this press release on the characters:

"Pablo Simon Bolivar is an idealistic immigrant who becomes Ash's loyal sidekick-a Sancho Panza to Ash's Don Quixote. Pablo believes in Ash's heroism even if Ash himself doesn't. Kelly Maxwell is a moody wild child trying to outrun her past. Reluctantly dragged into the fight against evil with Ash and Pablo, Kelly finds a different kind of family with her fellow Deadite slayers."

Here's the show's full synopsis:

"Campbell will be reprising his role as Ash, the stock boy, aging lothario and chainsaw-handed monster hunter who has spent the last 30 years avoiding responsibility, maturity and the terrors of the Evil Dead. When a Deadite plague threatens to destroy all of mankind, Ash is finally forced to face his demons-personal and literal. Destiny, it turns out, has no plans to release the unlikely hero from its 'Evil' grip."

'Ash vs. Evil Dead' will debut later this year on Starz.
