Lucy Lawless Joins ‘Ash Vs Evil Dead’

Well this is a pretty big get for a series that is already heavily steeped in pop culture.  It looks like Ash will be sharing the small screen with another warrior who has faced her share of monstrous beings.

According to Deadline actress Lucy Lawless will be joining the Starz series “Ash Vs Evil Dead” as Ruby, “a mysterious figure who is myopic in her quest to hunt down the source of the recent Evil outbreaks.”  Unfortunately for Ash, Ruby seems to think that he’s the cause of it all.  This marks the second female character who seems to believe that Ash is the cause of their woe.

Lucy Lawless, for those of you who didn’t spend their childhood weekends parked in front of a TV, was the star of the iconic series “Xena: Warrior Princess.”  A series that was also produced by “Evil Dead” creator Sam Raimi.  She also recently starred in the “Spartacus” series that also aired on Starz.
