He just wants to take a nap in his favorite chair, but the 172 demons in Willard's Mill have other plans for Stan and Sheriff Evie Barret in IFC's Stan Against Evil. With filming on the second season underway (stay tuned to Daily Dead for our set visit report), the cast and crew of the horror comedy series will travel to San Diego for what is sure to be a panel to remember.
Taking place in Room 5AB on Thursday, July 20th, the Stan Against Evil Season 2 panel will include co-stars John C. McGinley and Janet Varney, as well as executive producer Dana Gould (who also plays cemetery caretaker Kevin on the series). We have official details below, as well as the previous press release with full details on the show's second season.
Daily Dead will be providing live coverage from San Diego Comic-Con later this month, and we'll be sure to keep you posted on all of the latest news and announcements regarding Stan Against Evil and other series.
"THURSDAY, JULY 20
STAN AGAINST EVIL
PANEL (2:00pm – 3:00pm | Room 5AB): John C. McGinley, Janet Varney, and executive producer Dana Gould share an exclusive sneak peek of Season 2, answer fan questions, and discuss the first season of the horror comedy series that the New York Times called "a gruesome, deadpan delight." The panel, like the show, is guaranteed to be a hell-larious good time."
Previous Press Release: NEW YORK – May 30, 2017 – Production has commenced in Atlanta, GA for IFC’s Stan Against Evil, with returning leads John C. McGinley (Scrubs) as Stan Miller, the curmudgeonly retired police-sheriff, and Janet Varney (You’re The Worst) as Evie Barret, the current sheriff in Willard’s Mill determined to wipe out the demons that plague their quaint New England town. Stan Against Evil is created by Dana Gould (The Simpsons, Parks and Recreation) and produced by RadicalMedia (MARS, Abstract: The Art of Design). Season 2 of the horror-comedy series will premiere this fall on IFC with eight half-hour episodes.
New guest stars coming to Stan Against Evil Season 2 include:
- Denise Boutte (Meet The Browns) as Lara Bouchard, a local who may know more about the town’s demonic creatures than she lets on.
- Jeffrey Combs (Gotham) as the Impish Man, a Willard’s Mill newcomer who loves nothing more than a good bet.
- David Koechner (Anchorman) as Kenny, Evie’s incorrigible ex-husband who, to Evie’s dismay, creates a friendship with Stan.
- Steven Ogg (The Walking Dead) as Rusty, a cowboy from the past who takes a particular liking to Evie.
- Patty McCormack (The Bad Seed) as Priscilla, the knowledgeable owner of an antiques store.
The new season picks up where the Season 1 finale cliffhanger left off, with Sheriff Evie Barret (Varney) stranded in the year 1692, accused of being a witch and about to be burned at the stake. Despite his best attempts to never leave his couch, the disgruntled Stan Miller (McGinley) must begrudgingly solve the mystery of Evie’s time-travelling disappearance. Throughout the season, the unlikely team will continue to battle against the unconventional demons trying to take over their town, which continue to pop up in every size, shape, and animal-form.
Deborah Baker Jr. (The Great Indoors) and Nate Mooney (It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia) also return to co-star as Denise Miller, Stan’s absent-minded, do-good daughter, and Deputy Leon Drinkwater, Evie’s right hand man, respectively.
Stan Against Evil is created, written and executive produced by Dana Gould, with Tom Lassally (Silicon Valley) also serving as executive producer. RadicalMedia produces the series with Frank Scherma and Justin Wilkes executive producing. Star John C. McGinley also serves as a producer.
Stan Against Evil Season 1 is available to watch on iTunes, Amazon, GooglePlay and XBox.
