“From Dusk Till Dawn” Gets Third Season As They Fight the Culebra Underworld!
Miramax and El Rey announced today that their one-hour scripted original, “From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series,” has been renewed for a third season.
A reimagining of Robert Rodriguez’s 1996 iconic movie From Dusk Till Dawn, which Miramax also released theatrically at the time, the TV show expands on the fascinating supernatural crime saga centered around brothers Seth and Richie Gecko.
“I’m so friggin excited that we are moving forward with another season of ‘From Dusk Till Dawn: the Series,” said Rodriguez. “This show has a passionate following, and I just love making it and directing episodes. We have a killer cast and the characters have gotten even more layered and magnetic and I can’t wait to take this story even further.”
“Renewing the show for a third season seemed only natural given the tremendous team involved, led of course by Robert Rodriguez, Carlos Coto, our stellar cast, and our fascinating ‘Dusk’ universe that is like a never-ending well for unique storytelling,” said Zanne Devine, Miramax’s EVP of Film & TV.
Following a harrowing encounter with the mythical culebras inhabiting the infamous Twister nightclub in the first season, season two sees the Gecko brothers venturing down separate paths. Seth Gecko is hiding out with Kate Fuller in a slummy motel, while Richie Gecko thinks he has found his new partner in crime in Santánico Pandemonium, the seductive culebra queen from the Twister. Crime lord Carlos Madrigal and Kate’s brother Scott Fuller emerge from deep within the Twister’s hidden Labyrinth as changed men. And all are headed for an explosive showdown with the dark and sinister Lord Malvado and his lethal henchman The Regulator.
Season two of “From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series” was produced by Miramax® in association with Rodriguez International Pictures, FactoryMade Ventures and Sugarcane Entertainment, and stars D.J. Cotrona (Dear John, G.I. Joe: Retaliation) as Seth Gecko, Zane Holtz (Holes, The Perks of Being a Wallflower) as Richie Gecko, Jesse Garcia (Quinceañera, “Sons of Anarchy”) as Texas Ranger Freddie Gonzalez, Eiza González (“True Love”) as Santánico Pandemonium, Wilmer Valderrama (“Minority Report,” “That 70s Show”) as Carlos Madrigal, Madison Davenport (Noah, “Shameless”) as Kate Fuller, Brandon Soo Hoo (Tropic Thunder, Ender’s Game) as Scott Fuller, Jake Busey (Motorcycle Gang, Contact) as Professor “Sex Machine” Tanner, Danny Trejo (Machete film franchise, From Dusk Till Dawn film franchise) as The Regulator, Esai Morales (“The Brink,” “NYPD Blue,” La Bamba) as Lord Malvado, Jeff Fahey (“Lost,” “Justified,” “Texas Rising”) as Uncle Eddie, and Briana Evigan (Step Up 2) as Sonja Lamb.
Demi Lovato guest stars in the last two episodes of season two.
“From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series” season three will continue the Gecko brother saga as they fight the culebra underworld.
While you wait for Alien: Romulus, the folks over at Devilworks have cooked up their own slice of “mockbuster” fun with Alien Hunt, and we’re debuting the trailer here on BD this morning.
This brand-new sci-fi horror from director Aaron Mirtes (The Bigfoot Trap, Painted in Blood) is set for its US premiere on May 14, and you can find it on digital thanks to Devilworks.
You can exclusively watch the official trailer for Alien Hunt below, which looks to combine elements of Alien and Predator. This particular “mockbuster” has very little interest in hiding its inspirations, with the alien designs plucked straight out of H.R. Giger’s beautiful brain. Hey, if you’re going to pull from other movies, might as well take from the all-time greats!
In Alien Hunt, “On a hunting trip in the wilderness, a group of siblings discovers an abandoned military outpost on their land, but is it what it seems?
“Their trip takes a sinister turn when they find themselves facing off against a relentless army of extra-terrestrial beings. Suddenly, the hunters become the hunted.
“The formidable squad of alien soldiers will stop at nothing to wipe out the enemy and in an all-out, brutal battle for survival, it’s kill or be killed in Alien Hunt.”
Barron Boedecker (Escape Pod, The Bigfoot Trap), Brent Bentley (The Perfect In-Laws, Haunt Season), Deiondre Teagle (The Visitor, Painted in Blood, Death Ranch), Chelsey Fuller (The Bigfoot Trap, The Silent Natural), Jesse Santoyo (A Nashville Country Christmas, Potter’s Ground), and Adam Pietripaoli (The Bigfoot Trap, The OctoGames) star.
