Stan Against Evil stars John C.

Stan has trouble relinquishing his authority to Evie Barret (Varney), his tough and beautiful replacement, but they form an unlikely alliance when both begin to realize things are not quite right in their quaint New England town. Together, they valiantly fight a plague of unleashed demons that have been haunting the town, which just happens to be built on the site of a massive 17th century witch burning.
Stan Against Evil is created and executive produced by Dana Gould (The Simpsons, Parks and Recreation), with Tom Lassally (Silicon Valley) also serving as executive producer. Radical Media (What Happened, Miss Simone?, MARS) produces the series with Frank Scherma and Justin Wilkes executive producing. In addition to his lead role as Stan, John C.
