Last Sunday night, fans were left depressed as the final episode of “Ash vs. Evil Dead” aired, knowing that it was it the last time we would see Ash Williams in action. Bruce Campbell, who has played Ash in both films and the series since Evil Dead premiered back in 1981, has confirmed that the character is officially retired.
“Ash vs Evil Dead” ended on a happy note, with Ash waking up in the future, after beating the giant Kandarian demon which he killed with a tank. Much of the world had been destroyed by deadites. He climbed into his modified Delta 88 along with his new companion and drives off into the new world.
The ending was left open because at the time they had no idea that the series would be canceled. We were left wondering about the fate of Kelly, Pablo, and Brandy who Ash said goodbye to in an emotional scene before the big battle.
 

 
A lot of people have been sharing theories about how the franchise could continue without Ash, be it by a new movie or a spinoff. We have a few ideas of our own. While we are praying that Netflix will by some miracle pick up “Ash vs Evil Dead” and bring it back, that probably won’t happen. We could definitely handle a spin-off or movie about Kelly, Pablo, and Brandy. Many fans would be open to seeing a sequel to Fede Alvarez’s 2013 reboot of Evil Dead. But honestly, we’ve got our fingers crossed that Campbell will decide that Ash can’t handle retirement and bring back that groovy sob for a new sequel to the movie franchise.
No matter if this is the end of Ashley J. Williams or if we will see him again in the future, he’s a character we will never forget. Thank you, Bruce Campbell, for giving us our favorite leading man for so many years.
