Hitting small screens early next year is the start of the new 10-episode serialised show based on Robert Rodriguez’s 1996 horror ‘From Dusk Till Dawn’. The new TV adaptation will debut on Rodriguez’s El Rey Network and a few new names have been added to the cast list. ‘Terminator 2: Judgment Day’ star Robert Patrick has joined the show along with Madison Davenport (‘Shameless’), Brandon Soo Hoo (‘Ender’s Game’) and the very sexy Mexican songstress and actress Eiza González -below (‘Amores verdaderos’). Patrick as you may remember played Buck in the 1999 ‘Dawn’ sequel ‘From Dusk Till Dawn 2: Texas Blood Money’ but he’ll be given the new and more familiar role of Jacob Fuller, previously filled by Harvey Keitel in the 1996 feature. The gorgeous González has been given the titillating role of Santánico Pandemonium whom was made more than memorable by Salma Hayek in the original movie. D.J. Cotrona (‘G.I. Joe: Retaliation’) and Zane Holtz (‘Holes’) will play Seth and Richie Gecko respectively.
“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 the run to Mexico, Seth and Richie encounter former minister Jacob Fuller (Patrick) and his family, whom they take hostage. Using the family RV to cross the border, chaos ensues when the group detours to a strip club that is populated by vampires. They are forced 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 creatures inside the club.”
