July 20, 2016 (Los Angeles, CA / Austin, TX) - MIRAMAX® and El Rey Network announced today that Season 3 of From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series will premiere on September 6 at 9PM ET. The 10 new, action-packed, horror-filled episodes follow the Gecko brothers into the vortex of the culebra underworld, as they are forced to assemble an unlikely crew to battle new enemies determined to take them down.
Season
three features a returning ensemble cast including D.J. Cotrona, Zane
Holtz, Eiza González, Jesse Garcia, Madison Davenport, Brandon Soo Hoo,
Emily Rios and Jake Busey. New cast joining the third season are: Ana de
la Reguera ("Jane the Virgin”, "Narcos") who will have a recurring role
as Lord Venganza Verdugo, one of the seven remaining culebra Lords;
Marko Zaror (“Machete Kills”) as Zolo, an Aztec warrior trained in hell;
Tom Savini (“Friday the 13th”, “From Dusk Till Dawn”) as
Burt, a retired demon hunter who smokes more medical marijuana than he
sells; Maurice Compte (“Breaking Bad”, “Narcos”) as Brasa, a mysterious
Rasputin-like figure who takes on the Gecko brothers; and Nicky Whelan
(“House of Lies”, “The Wedding Ringer”) whose character will be revealed
during the season.
Robert
Rodriguez, El Rey Network’s founder and chairman and the creator of the
1995 cult-classic film of the same name, directs the season’s 2nd
episode; additional returning directors include Dwight Little,
Alejandro Brugués, Eduardo Sanchez, Joe Menendez and newcomers Eagle
Egilsson, Rebecca Rodriguez and Diego Gutierrez.
Season
three of "From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series" continues the Gecko
brothers' saga as they fight their way through the chilling world of culebras,
the vampire-snake hybrids that control hidden empires in Texas and
Mexico. Once the baddest outlaws in the land, Seth and Richie made a run
for the Border two years ago to save their lives - and their fortune.
After stumbling into a bar full of bloodsuckers and bandits, the Geckos
encountered the vampire goddess Santánico, joining her cause to settle
an old score. It won them a place in the culebra world. Now that
world is on the verge of violent and destructive explosion as new
enemies hell-bent on domination gather to take them down. In typical
Gecko fashion, Seth and Richie assemble an unlikely crew (some new, some
old) to take on the forces of hell.
