Was it just the first two seasons they put on Netflix? Would have been nice if they'd put the third out weekly too even if it were a week or two behind Starz.

I think the second season is only available on Netflix in the US. Internationally, only the first season is available (and not even on every country). That's actually common practice for shows that aren't exclusive to Netflix, they're always one full season behind. I think the second season will only be made available on Netflix internationally once the third season has finished airing in the US. I believe that's because of distribution deals with local networks.

Ratings went up a bit to 180,000 (last week: 160,00). All we can do now is continue to support the show and hope for a miracle.

I've got 176k on my end from Showbuzz Daily with a 0.06. The bad news is that this is literally the bottom of the barrel when it comes to cable ratings, they're the 150th ranked program of the night and were outrated by cheap junk like Autopsy on the Reelz Network, which got over 10k more viewers.

Dread Central milled an article out of the Rotten Tomatoes listing, and Starz replied with: “We cannot confirm. We have not announced anything in regards to a season 4 of this series.” I think Elise and everyone else is right, and the listing is a leftover confirmation of the season 3 2018 renewal. Also every running series is marked as renewed until they get further updates apparently, judging from the update at the top of the listing.

I think they might be doing all right on Netflix, but not impressively so.

Bruce said in a Q&A that season three will hit Netflix sometime next year during the 'I know something you don't know' thing. So it'll be a year behind.

Interesting bit from this interview starting at 3:15, some mild spoilers for the season in there as well. Bruce says RE a Netflix move "Starz wouldn't be excited about that." He's claiming the show 'went viral' when it was released to Netflix but talking about the modern tv landscape as being difficult because people want to stick with one platform instead of buying multiple aps. "if we get cancelled they'll regret it two years later....They'll get to your show, but not right now."

Netflix Canada have just announced today season 2 on April. So I guess more countries will get it soon.

Bruce keeping the hope alive. This interview seems to suggest that he hasn't received a cancellation yet.

Sounds very much on the fence. Netflix numbers may be helping a bit. Hard to say what will happen but I'll hope for the best.

Yeah, and Bruce is so much on the fence that he contradict himself each week. I just think he's playing with the crowd and medias right now. ;)

My opinion is if the show was in fact canceled... Bruce wouldn't be pushing it as hard as he has been every single day. The man is obviously working very hard to save the show before it's to late.

We may be missing something else vital, and that’s how many of those 174,000 viewers are subscribed to starz for Ash alone. They may take that into consideration based on how many new subscribers they got in February alone, and how many will cancel once the season is over, myself included. I did email them that very information but let’s just say for an easy number they lose 100,000 subscriptions when the season is over, that’s what $800,000 a month? The number is probably high but the point comes down to how dedicated this fan base can be

‪Promote the crap out if Ash VS Evil Dead on Netflix, put season 4 back on in October, promote the show's horror aspect more and watch the ratings increase a lot next season. February/March has the lowest tv viewership out of the year.‬

Thank you, @Nick el Ass and @Kevin for snagging so many ratings details! It means a lot!

This is a really interesting question to puzzle out. On one hand, you can say that if their sub numbers fluctuate in a super clear way it's sending a message; I know people who only subscribe to Starz for Aved and cancel their sub when the season ends, for instance.

On the other hand, 100k/300k viewers (if we count the +5s) is a drop in the pocket subscriber-wise; Power, Outlander, Counterpart and American Gods get them better ratings in the lives and +5s. AvED is currently performing comparably with the Girlfriend Experience.

Ash's bond with his daughter strengthens as more Knights of Sumeria join Pablo and him to defeat evil; Kelly decides to go after Ruby while Ash, team and the knights enter the rift and face a battle of their own.

It's interesting to me that it takes this long for Kaya to possess Kelly. I wonder how long she's going to stay in her body. Also it looks like Pablo gets de-possessed in episode 5.

OOOhh man, that sounds like it's going to be a bitching episode to watch.

My bet on kelly : 7-9 and she returns in episode 10

Judging from the caps for eight on FFAS, either Ash meets her soul on the other side of the rift or she reunites with her body before that.

I'm gonna take a big shot in the dark and say judging from some of the footage i've seen, and the pictures. We probably won't see kelly back until the last episode, maybe we will see her fighting for her body back though with kaya in episode 9 in some way OR she doesn't escape from the netherworld and is probably going to be brought back by pablo in episode 10 in some way shape or form. We'll have to see how it plays out.

But i have a theory about how kaya and ruby will meet their demise, in the main trailer we see a dark one shove it's hand through "kelly's" back. i'm gonna say that dark one is in the process of pulling kaya's soul literally out of her body in that scene. and then in the overview trailer we see kaya being burned alive for a brief second as well. So i'm gonna say kaya and ruby will likely bite the dust at the hands of the other dark ones by episode 9.

"They will swallow my soul!" - Kaya

Overall, this is going to be quite the ride for this last half, can't wait ! :D

I guess it all depends on how much the show costs to make. As I said previously I can’t see there being any huge salaries beyond Lucy Lawless. Obviously as we know, the Evil Dead franchise has a long life so I guess it just depends on if they see season 4 worth the investment and if it will pay off in the future. I myself am not a huge TV watcher outside Game of Thrones and Ash, and I subscribe only for those shows then cancel.

I will say this season so far has me the most intrigued for what’s going to come next.

I think Lucy's salary isn't particularly huge, since she might be working at a discount since she's family, so to speak. I'm also pretty sure Bruce's producer's fee might trump whatever he's making for acting in the show, but I'm not 100 percent sure!

I think the big money sink for the show's the effects budget, which is a natural thing for a show like this. But I don't know for sure! Ultimately they'll have to add up what they've gotten versus what they've spent and see what's worth it.
