It was announced today that fans of EL REY NETWORK and Miramax's supernatural crime saga, "From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series," will be able to preview the first episode of the sophomore season on select distributors' VOD platforms in advance of the linear debut set for Tuesday, August 25th at 9:00 pm ET on El Rey Network. Beginning today, the action-packed season two premiere of the horror/crime drama will be available to subscribers of Comcast's Xfinity TV, Dish and Time Warner Cable as well as other MVPDs. The first season, in its entirety, as well as behind the scenes content highlighting the cast, costume design, hair and makeup, stunts, special effects and an interview with Robert Rodriguez (who directs the season 2 premiere and finale) will also be available on demand.

"I am excited that our distribution partners are on board to present the premiere episode from season two of 'From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series' ahead of its debut on El Rey Network," remarked Robert Rodriguez, El Rey Network's founder and chairman and creator of the 1995 cult-classic film of the same name. "The first season we followed the storyline of the movie-but in season two, all bets are off. I can't wait for viewers to enjoy the ride."

Returning cast members D.J. Cotrona (Dear John, G.I. Joe: Retaliation); Zane Holtz (Wind Walkers, Holes, The Perks of Being a Wallflower); Jesse Garcia (Quinceañera, "Sons of Anarchy"); Eiza González (True Love); Wilmer Valderrama ("That '70s Show," To Whom It May Concern); Madison Davenport ("Noah," "Shameless"); Brandon Soo Hoo (Tropic Thunder, Ender's Game, Incredible Crew) and guest star Jake Busey (Motorcycle Gang, Contract) are joined in the show's sophomore season by Danny Trejo (Machete, Machete Kills) as "The Regulator;" Esai Morales ("Criminal Minds," "NYPD Blue") as "Lord Amancio Malvado;" Jeff Fahey ("Lost," "Justified," "Texas Rising") as "Uncle Eddie Cruickshank" and Briana Evigan (Step Up 2) as "Sonja Lam".

Called "radically different" and "a fascinating ride" by The Associated Press, season one of "From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series" centered on bank robber Seth Gecko and his violent, unpredictable brother, Richard "Richie" Gecko, who were on the run to Mexico when they encountered former pastor Jacob Fuller and his family, and took them hostage. Using the family RV to cross the border, chaos ensued when the group detoured to the Titty Twister, a strip club populated by culebras, snake-like ancient creatures who survive by drinking human blood. They were forced to fight until dawn in order to get out alive.

In Season Two, the show travels between Mexico and 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. Our characters are all living in very separate worlds -Santánico and Richie are outside Houston, doing their best Bonnie and Clyde; Seth and Kate are scraping by South of the Border; and Freddie Gonzalez is protecting his wife and young daughter in the suburbs. Carlos Madrigal and Scott Fuller 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, showrunner Carlos Coto, writer Diego Gutierrez, FactoryMade Ventures and EL REY NETWORK co-founders John Fogelman and Cristina Patwa, and Miramax's Zanne Devine and Daniel Pipski.
