SALEM (Showrunners: Brannon Braga and Adam Simon)

There’s no doubting FANGO’s love for SALEM in its second season, having been vocal about how the series had been among the most satisfying programs of the year. But with incredible practical FX, genuinely macabre subject matter and content that would make any ratings board blush, SALEM earned every word of fanfare. Add in the Lovecraftian elements that the series wielded like a sinister sword and SALEM was all-but-guaranteed a Chainsaw nomination, even though it’s vocal fanbase need more than a little luck to secure a win for the WGN America series.

ASH VS. EVIL DEAD (Showrunner: Craig DiGregorio)

With the pilot being among the best hours of horror TV in 2015, ASH VS. EVIL DEAD luckily showed the chops to kick-ass for all ten episodes. With Bruce Campbell leading an excellent ensemble that includes Dana DeLorenzo, Ray Santiago, Jill Marie Jones and Lucy Lawless, ASH VS. EVIL DEAD brought hilarity and horror in equal measure, resulting in the most consistently splattery of this year’s contenders. And when Ash returned to the Cabin late in the season, ASH VS. EVIL DEAD captured the EVIL DEAD spirit wholly and guaranteed itself a spot among this year’s Chainsaw nominees.

Starz was out promoting their shows at the Television Critics Association event and Starz CEO Chris Albrecht was asked about Ash Vs Evil Dead Season 2:

“Saw the first script a couple days ago,” Albrecht said. “Looks really good. Second seasons are so important for series. That’s the difference between making a movie and making a series. The cast really gelled through the first season. They appropriately got a lot of acknowledgment from the fans and press. We’re really excited. This is a series. I think it’s got the legs of a real series. The storylines and what I’ve seen on paper back that up. We’re on track for another season in 2016.” Source

This is not going to please a lot of fans but the answer is no…maybe…Javier Grillo-Marxuach, the new executive producer / writer of the Xena Reboot has posted the following to his tumblr blog about the Xena Reboot.

1. The word is that Lucy Lawless won’t be returning, but will anyone from the old show coming back (either in the same roles or in cameos)?

It’s way too early for that. Our first order of business is to create something that will be undeniable - to both the existing fans and, hopefully, a new audience. Down the line, in success, if there is a way of bringing back members of the classic cast with both a legitimate narrative intention, and respect to both the extant series and the new, who am I to say no?

“Xena: Warrior Princess” will make a comeback at NBC. Original producers Rob Tapert and Sam Raimi, also responsible for the original series, are on board to reimagine the Warrior Princess with a new actress in a modern setting.

Tapert doesn’t have to look far to find the original Xena, Lucy Lawless, because he married her and featured her in the recent “Evil Dead” series spin-off, “Ash vs. Evil Dead.”
