Starz has released a new image from the upcoming season of Ash vs Evil Dead, featuring (from left to rigt) Ruby (Lucy Lawless), Ash (Bruce Campbell), Pablo (Ray Santiago), and Kelly (Dana DeLorenzo) standing together, preparing to face their next demonic challenger. The caption reads: "The Ghostbeaters are ready for Season 2. Hope Evil likes it rough."

The image is a bit perplexing because at the end of the first season Ruby revealed that she wrote the Necronomicon and unleashed evil upon the Earth. So, why is Ash and his sidekicks teaming up with her? Could it be that Ruby was actually possessed and is now cleansed of the evil spirit? Or, could it be that Ruby has unleashed an evil so powerful that she needs Ash's help in defeating it or getting in under control?

Lee Majors (Do You Believe) will play the role of Brock Williams, Ash's father, and Ted Raimi ("Xena: Warrior Princess," Spider-Man) will play the role of Ash's childhood best friend, Chet Kaminski

Sam Raimi serves as executive producer with Rob Tapert (Evil Dead, "Spartacus," Xena: Warrior Princess"), Bruce Campbell (Evil Dead, "Burn Notice") and Ivan Raimi (Drag Me To Hell, Spider-Man 3) along with Craig DiGregorio ("Workaholics," "Chuck") who serves as executive producer/showrunner.
