From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series
When From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series premiered on El Rey last year, they big question on everyone’s mind was: “What’s the point?” That question was definitely answered by the end of the season, as the series had added an incredible amount of mythology and extra characters throughout the course of its ten episodes. It may have had a rocky start, but From Dusk Till Dawn found its footing in its final three or four episodes. With the world premiere of Season Two happening this Saturday June 6th at 1:00PM CT at the ATX Television Festival, Miramax has given Bloody Disgusting the exclusive on one of the first official images from the new season.

Above you’ll see D.J. Cotrona as Seth Gecko (the George Clooney role in the film) and Madison Davenport as Kate Fuller (the Juliette Lewis role in the film) in action as he protects her from an unseen enemy in what looks like a Mexican décor store. Season Two of From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series will premiere on El Rey on August 25th. Read all of Bloody Disgusting’s coverage of From Dusk Till Dawn here.

Season Two explores a new chapter in this supernatural crime saga that travels from Mexico to the edgy, tricked-out Texas of Robert Rodriguez. It also deepens and complicates the core relationships between the characters, while adding new faces and new dynamics. Season Two begins with our characters in their separate worlds – Santanico (Eiza Gonzalez) and Richie (Zane Holtz) are outside Houston, living like Bonnie and Clyde; Seth (Cotrona) and Kate (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 (Wilmer 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” is a Miramax production in association with Rodriguez International Pictures, FactoryMade Ventures, and Sugarcane Entertainment.  Executive producers are Robert Rodriguez, Carlos Coto (also showrunner), Diego Gutierrez (also writer), FactoryMade Ventures and El Rey Network co-founders John Fogelman and Cristina Patwa, and Miramax’s Zanne Devine and Daniel Pipski.

New Documentaries Explore the Cult Legacies of ‘The Keep’ and ‘Wolfen’; Watch the Trailers Now [Exclusive]

The Keep and Wolfen documentary

Undersung werewolf gem Wolfen and Michael Mann’s The Keep get the spotlight in a pair of feature documentaries acquired by Antenna Releasing.

A World War II Fairy Tale, which covers the infamous production of and reception to The Keep, will receive a limited theatrical release in October, followed by a TVOD release on Apple/Amazon. The Keep will also screen as a double feature for some showings.

For Uncovering Wolfen, Antenna eyes a limited theatrical release for 2027. Both films are currently available for booking via Antenna prior to their theatrical and digital releases.

Both documentaries are directed by Stewart Buck, who co-helms with Stéphane Piter on A World War II Fairy Tale.

“We at Antenna are obsessed with film history,” said Chief Acquisitions Officer Billy Ray Brewton. “Stewart has done such a remarkable job of really diving into the deepest recesses of how these films were made and, in doing so, has created the definitive histories of both projects.”

“We’re delighted to be partnering with Antenna Releasing!” said director Buck. “It’s refreshing to see a filmmaker-friendly approach to distribution with people who know what it’s like to be in the trenches with independent projects that struggle to find a home in the crowded marketplace.”

Check out our exclusive trailer and poster reveal of both documentaries below.

Released in 1983, Michael Mann’s The Keep was a notorious box office bomb, critically lambasted and all but forgotten for years, save for the fascination with Tangerine Dream’s iconic score. In recent years, the film has enjoyed a bit of a resurgence and is widely considered a cult classic, though director Michael Mann and many cast members refuse to acknowledge it.

Wolfen, on the other hand, was critical success but was overshadowed heavily by its flashier 1981 siblings An American Werewolf in London and The Howling. It’s also a trailblazer for socio-political horror, and the doc will explore that via the craftspeople who made it.

Look for them both in theaters soon. Stay tuned for more as it arrives.
