Exclusive: Uncover Xibalba In Season 3 Of ‘From Dusk Till Dawn’

by Josh Jackson

When the Titty Twister was destroyed in the second season of From Dusk Till Dawn, we stand to lose a lot more than our favorite drinking hole.

In this exclusive clip, showrunner Carlos Coto warns us of the kind of hell we can expect to walk through as Season 3 of the series continues. Resuming the story of Seth and Richie Gecko in an alternate universe that stands apart from the Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino film, it seems like the pair of would-be vampire hunters have unearthed something even more dangerous. So much so, that the pair will have to amass an army to stop what can literally become hell on earth.

Discussing the Mesoamerican mythology behind the portal to hell that just happened to be uncovered underneath the brothers’ bar of choice, Xilbalba houses an army of grotesque demons that’s looking to wreck havoc on their way back home.  By letting us take a peek at the new heroes, villains, and unlikely allies that will arise as the season continues, fans of the show will have plenty to look forward to as more is revealed. But I can’t say it any better than the man himself, so check out the video below and let us know what you think about these developments!

From Dusk Till Dawn airs every Tuesday at 8 PM on the El Rey network.

 

Today is ‘From Dusk Till Dawn’ Day in Austin, TX

by Eric Francisco

Good morning! Do you know what day it is?

In Uruguay, August 25, 1825 was the day Uruguayans declared independence from the Empire of Brazil. In France, August 25, 1944 marks the liberation of Paris from Nazi Germany, held under their iron grip since the signing of the Second Compiègne Armistice in 1940. In Austin, Texas, August 25 is From Dusk Till Dawn Day.

I’m not kidding.

Filmmaker and El Rey Network founder Robert Rodriguez, along with Mayor Steve Adler of Austin, Texas have proclaimed August 25, 2015 “From Dusk Till Dawn” Day, celebrating From Dusk Till Dawn‘s independence from seasonal hiatus.

A ceremony was held yesterday at the Troublemaker Studios where From Dusk Till Dawn is produced. “We are proud to be home to Robert Rodriguez’s Troublemaker Studios, his incredible El Rey Network and of course, his iconic television original, From Dusk Till Dawn which has achieved cult status here in Austin and around the globe,” said Mayor Adler. “It is testament to our belief that Austin is a creative hub for talented filmmakers and visionaries who are inspired by what our city has to offer.”

Rodriguez added, “Austin is my home and I’m honored to have collaborated with the Austin creative community all these years making movies and television for the world to see I’m so proud that From Dusk Till Dawn is Austin made and that we can celebrate this day with the community.”

Austin is starting to boom as a creative hub in the heart of the continental United States. It’s the Brooklyn of Texas, basically. So it is cool that someone with as much pull as Robert Rodriguez can give back to his stomping grounds. I’m still reading his book, Rebel Without a Crew, which is essential reading for all aspiring filmmakers. He definitely makes you feel bad for sitting on your butt not making anything. I feel so bad, I just want to sit on my butt not making anything.

And while I’ll do nothing, I’ll watch From Dusk Till Dawn season two. Premieres tonight at 9pm EST.

Danny Trejo Looks Like a BAMF in ‘From Dusk ‘Till Dawn’ Season Two Preview

by Eric Francisco

From Dusk ‘Till Dawn: The Series returns later this summer in an all new season, and making his debut as a new character is From Dusk ‘Till Dawn movie alum Danny Trejo as the goofy-looking-but-I-still-wouldn’t-mess-with-him, The Regulator.

The Regulator is a new character, and the press release describes him as an “agent of evil” in the middle of a “deadly errand.” Most of my errands are boring. I think I’ll take boring over deadly. Better for my conscience.

From the press release:

El Rey Network and Miramax released a first-look image of From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series featuring Danny Trejo (Machete, Machete Kills) in his new role as”The Regulator,” a horrifying agent of evil who is summoned to perform a deadly errand. Trejo appeared in the From Dusk Till Dawn film franchise as “Razor Charlie.”  Currently in production on its sophomore season, From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series is slated to return late Summer 2015.

Excited? Of course you are, and tell us your favorite Danny Trejo role in the comments. (Who are we kidding, it’s Machete.)

Danny Trejo Joins El Rey’s ‘From Dusk Till Dawn’

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: It looks like Robert Rodriguez and Danny Trejo are set to reunite once more, as Trejo has just joined season two of the El Rey network’s From Dusk Till Dawn series.

The actor, however, won’t be reprising the role of Razor Charlie (from the film series, of course), he’ll instead portray “The Regulator,” a horrifying agent of evil who has been summoned to perform a deadly errand. Ominous.

Step Up 2’s Briana Evigan has also joined the upcoming 10-episode season. She’ll play Sonja, an American expatriate working as a tattoo artist in a Mexican Mercado – who also has a sideline forging papers and passports out of her back room.

According to El Rey, the new season “begins with our characters in their separate worlds – Santanico (Gonzalez) and Richie (Holtz) are outside Houston, living like Bonnie and Clyde; Seth and Kate (Madison Davenport) are scraping by South of the Border; and Freddie Gonzalez (Jessie Garcia) is protecting his wife and young daughter in a Houston suburb.  And Carlos Madrigal (Valderrama) and Scott Fuller (Brandon Soo-Hoo) emerge from the Titty Twister, changed men.  They will all come together once again – this time facing off against an even bigger threat.”

‘From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series’ Gets A Full Trailer

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: We’ve seen some stills, and even a teaser, but El Ray just launched a full trailer for March’s From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series.

Clocking in at two-and-a-half minutes, the trailer gives us a decent idea of what to expect from the series, and I think that fans will be very happy with what they see here.

In any case, take a look at the trailer below, and let us know if you’ll be watching From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series when it premieres on March 11th.

Based on the thrill-ride film, the supernatural crime saga is 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 (Don Johnson) and Freddie Gonzalez (Jesse Garcia) after a bank heist leaves several people dead. The series, created and executive produced by network Founder and Chairman, filmmaker Robert Rodriguez, will premiere on El Rey Network, Tuesday, March 11th at 9pm ET/PT.

Two New ‘From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series’ Stills Debut Online!

by Derek Kraneveldt

Briefly: Following the first (short) trailer from a few weeks back, The El Ray Network today debuted two new stills for From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series.

It’s been years (and years) since I’ve seen From Dusk Till Dawn, so I don’t remember much of it. The film does boasts a huge cult following however, so I’m sure that From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series will be a huge hit for the network when it premieres later this year. The series stars Wilmer Valderrama as the enigmatic crime lord Carlos; D.J. Cotrona, who plays Seth Gecko; Zane Holtz as Richie Gecko; Jesse Garcia who plays Texas Ranger Freddie Gonzalez, a new character created for the series; Don Johnson who joins in a recurring role as Sheriff Earl McGraw; Robert Patrick as Jacob Fuller; Madison Davenport as Kate Fuller; Brandon Soo Hoo as Scott Fuller and Eiza González as Santánico.
