From an article in Entertainment Weekly, Shock Till You Drop reports that the show will be a "half-hour horror comedy where Ash takes a road trip to banish his demons alongside two young helpers and his trusty boomstick."
So basically, a baby version of Evil Dead. Awesome. But where exactly does this work out in the timeline? Last we saw Ash he was trying to get home from Medieval Deadite land.

As to why they made a television show instead of a new movie, Campbell touches on that subject as well pointing out that another film would have been very expensive but with a TV show, the could deliver on exactly what the fans really wanted to see. It's all about those dolla, dolla bills ya'll.
Don't expect all sunshine and roses however. Ash has some issues. Which is to be expected after years of watching your friends turn into horrible flesh devouring monsters who you then have to kill. On Ash of the new show Campbell says that new Ash is a "war vet" and that he doesn't want to talk about the things that happened to him. "That's what I look forward to playing - a guy with horrible flaws," Campbell reveals. Both inside and out it would seem
Groovy.
The show will premiere on Starz in 2015.
