From Dusk Till Dawn

Sin City director Robert Rodriquez is launching a new television network in the US called El Rey, and its flagship series is set to From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series. D.J. Cotrona and Zane Holtz are filling in as the Gecko brothers (two roles originally filled by George Clooney and Quentin Tarantino in the original 1996 movie), while Rodriquez will be directed the first two instalments of the ten part season.

Based on the thrill-ride film, “From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series” is a supernatural crime saga centered around bank robber, Seth Gecko (Cotrona) and his violent, unpredictable brother, Richard “Richie” Gecko (Holtz), who are wanted by the FBI and Texas Rangers Earl McGraw (Johnson) and Freddie Gonzalez (Garcia) after a bank heist left several people dead. While on an escape route to Mexico, Seth and Richie encounter former minister Jacob Fuller and his family who they take hostage. Using the family RV to make a run for the Mexican border, chaos ensues when the group detours to a strip club that is unknowingly populated by vampires, and forces them to fight until dawn in order to get out alive. The series deepens the tone of the film, adds new characters and backstories and expands the Mesoamerican mythology behind the vampires.

Jesse Garcia, Don Johnson, Wilmer Valderrama, and Robert Patrick all co-star in the series about the brothers fighting the undead while on the run from the law, and it will premiere on March 11th.
