From Dusk Till Dawn TV Series exclusive to Netflix in the UK
From Dusk Till Dawn is to be a Netflix exclusive outside of the US and will become available to stream from March 12.
Miramax and the El Rey Network have struck a deal with Netflix that will see the series, an extension to the cult film trilogy, screening the day after it’s shown on US networks. That means you won’t be able to dive in and binge the lot in a weekend (unless you wait) as the episodes will appear on a weekly basis.

Other than the UK, Netflix customers in Canada, Ireland, Netherlands and the Nordics will have access from March 12, with Latin America beginning a week later on March 19.

Based on the cult-classic film of the same name, the series marks action auteur Robert Rodriguez’s first foray into serialised drama.

As a quick plot teaser - along the Mexico-US border, bank robber Seth Gecko (D.J. Cotrona) and his violent, unpredictable brother, Richard ‘Richie” Gecko (Zane Holtz) shoot their way south after a bank heist in Abilene, Texas. The 10-episode series takes place over the course of one night, following the brothers as they try to evade a pair of Texas rangers, Earl McGraw (Don Johnson) and Freddie Gonzalez (Jesse Garcia). Along the way, Seth and Richie encounter former pastor, Jacob Fuller (Robert Patrick) and his family. The Geckos take them hostage and steal their RV to cross the border. Chaos ensues when the group detours to a strip club populated by vampires. With the law, the undead and some of Mexico’s most hardened criminals on their trail, the group must fight until dawn to get out alive.

“We’re thrilled to premiere ‘From Dusk Till Dawn: A Netflix Original Series’ exclusively in our international markets,” said Ted Sarandos, Chief Content Officer at Netflix. “Robert Rodriguez is an amazing storyteller and we think our members will love his thrill-ride TV adaptation of the cult-classic.”

Robert Rodriguez, Chairman and Founder, El Rey Network, said: “I am excited about working with Netflix and Miramax to build an international audience for our series. This property has always resonated for viewers around the globe and we believe that it will be just as relevant for this new generation of fans.”

Rodriguez directed and executive produced the 1996 cult-classic film written by Quentin Tarantino. Rodriguez has directed four of the ten episodes of the TV adaptation, rather than the two originally thought so we’re really looking forward to this one – anyone else excited?
