One of the more leftfield announcements at this year’s Comic-Con came from Sam Raimi, who announced that an Evil Dead TV show is something he is currently working on.

The director revealed that he is currently writing the new show with his brother Ted, and original star Bruce Campbell, with the latter now suggesting that he will be making a return in front of the camera.

Campbell broke the news in reply to a fan on Twitter, who asserted that the show would only be worth watching with Bruce in the leading role. “That’s the plan,” was the star’s response.

Neither Raimi nor Campbell have gone much further detail-wise, so we don’t know where the series will fit in with the timeline of the original trilogy, or whether it will relate in any way to the recent franchise reboot.

What we do know, however, is that a Campbell-starring Evil Dead series is good news indeed. Fire up the chainsaw, re-spray the Oldsmobile and saw off that shotgun… Ash is back.

Marvel is certainly moving quickly on its Daredevil TV series this week. Having installed Steven S. DeKnight as the new showrunner , the studio has now cast Brit star Charlie Cox as the man without fear.

The studio made the announcement soon after the casting rumour hit the internet yesterday evening, confirming that Cox had been cast.

Best known for playing Tristan Thorne in Stardust – and for his supporting role in Boardwalk Empire ’s second and third seasons – Cox will play Matt Murdock, who’s blinded as a young boy.

Imbued with “extraordinary senses”, he grows up to become a crime-fighter called Daredevil, who protects the streets of Hell’s Kitchen, New York City by night.

Marvel’s first Netflix TV series will air exclusively on the streaming service in 2015, with its first season comprised of 13 episodes.

Cox seems like a perfect fit for the role – he’s recognisable enough in genre fare without being over-exposed, and he seems to know his way around an American accent.

Next up: expect rumours of who’s going to play Bullseye…
