Many fans are excited for the return of "Ash vs Evil Dead" for its second season, and the network, Starz, has an early treat for their loyal viewers. Bruce Campbell was also able to give his opinions with regards to the show during a recent press conference.

Based on the reports from Collider, Campbell, who takes the role of Ash in the series, recently expressed his opinions about the show's second installment. At a press conference, the actor was asked if they were ever nervous if the show would have an audience and he replied that they were worried at first, and that it felt good that the viewers have appreciated the show. He also said that the reason the show has been successful is because of the fans, since they have been demanding that kind of material for a long time.

Campbell also mentioned the involvement of Sam Raimi, who was the original director of the "Evil Dead" franchise. According to Collider, the actor said, "We knew we would never have Sam full time. He's a big shot movie director. So, we brought him in and got him to set the bar very high to give us street cred, because the fans would not have accepted it, if he didn't put his thumb on this project."

In addition, Campbell also stated that in reality, Raimi would not be there directing since television is a different medium and the show could not afford him as well.

Meanwhile, Starz had a surprise for the loyal viewers of the show as it released the first episode of the second season on the network's website. For cable viewers, it can also be watched via STARZ On Demand. The title of the first episode is "Home." Meanwhile, if fans want to catch up with the first season, a Blu-Ray of it is already available.

The second season of "Ash vs Evil Dead" will officially premiere on Sunday, Oct. 2 at 8 p.m. EST on Starz.
