LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The 'Evil Dead' franchise is expanding by adding a new movie to the list. 'Evil Dead Rise' will be the fifth film in a franchise that includes a TV series, 'Ash vs. the Evil Dead'. The new movie, written and directed by Lee Cronin, brings in a completely new storyline. It is not related to the previous works in the franchise.

While 'Evil Dead' (2013) was a reboot of the original Sam Raimi trilogy, the 2023 movie is a spin-off of the Raimi franchise. Even Raimi is returning to produce the 'Evil Dead Rise.' The movie is set to have the longest runtime of 96 minutes and includes a totally different cast. The cult-classic comedy-horror franchise is moving in the direction of loosely connected film series like the 'Conjuring'.
