Questions

Where does Ash vs Evil Dead fit in the Evil Dead timeline?

After Army of Darkness. The series picks up with Ash 30 years after the events of the original film and runs for three seasons.

Do I need to watch Evil Dead (2013) or Evil Dead Rise to follow Ash vs Evil Dead?

No. The 2013 film, Evil Dead Rise and Evil Dead Burn tell standalone stories with new characters. Only the first three films lead into the series.

What about Evil Dead Wrath?

Evil Dead Wrath is set for release on April 7, 2028. We’ll add it to the list once its place in the timeline is clear.
