Jill Marie Jones, known for Girlfriends and Sleepy Hollow, will star in Starz's Ash vs. Evil Dead, a sequel to the acclaimed Evil Dead horror franchise. This is reported by The Hollywood Reporter.

Bruce Campbell, star of three original movies, will return to the titular role of Ash, a supermarket clerk in the household goods department, an aging ladies' man and a chainsaw-armed monster hunter who has lived for thirty years avoiding the responsibility, growing up and horrors of the sinister dead. When the plague of deadites is ready to destroy all of humanity, Ash, gathers will in a fist to finally meet face to face with the demons – own and literal. Fate, however, Jones has no plans to release the hopeless hero from his tenacious embrace.

In the series, consisting of ten half-hour episodes, Jones will play the role of Amanda Fisher, a disgraced Michigan patrolman, following on the heels of her partner's sinister killer. She goes to look for Ash to hold him responsible for the crime. She soon realizes that Ash and his company may be the only hope of all mankind in the fight against the plague of the evil dead.

Jones has joined the previously approved Ray Santiago and Dana DeLorenzo, who will play the protagonist's accomplices.

The series, which is slated to premiere in late 2015, will begin production this spring in New Zealand. Sam Raimi will direct the pilot, which he co-wrote with his brother, Ivan Raimi, and Tom Spezaley.
