Episode notes
Director Lee Cronin confirms he’s stepping back from Evil Dead Rise sequel talks, handing the franchise reins back to its original creators Sam Raimi, Rob Tapert, and Bruce Campbell. While he’s proud of his work and the film’s success, Cronin sees himself as a temporary caretaker and has other projects — including a paranormal Irish story — on hold. Though the sequel door isn’t shut, his exit makes a follow-up feel less likely unless the OGs decide to steer the ship themselves.
