## Synopsis

From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series (2014-2016) is an American horror crime thriller created by Robert Rodriguez for El Rey Network, adapted from his cult grindhouse film. The story follows bank-robbing brothers Seth Gecko and Richie Gecko, who flee across Texas after a heist and are forced to hide out in a bar that hides an ancient evil. Their plan to slip across the Mexican border collapses when the bar's vampire patrons turn on the people inside, and a Texas ranger, Freddie Gonzalez, and a devout family, the Fullers, are pulled into the carnage. Robert Patrick and Don Johnson add grizzled weight as Jacob Fuller and Earl McGraw, while Eiza Gonzalez brings a seductive menace as Santanico Pandemonium. Each season is built from a tense cat and mouse chase where a run of gore and sleaze keeps pushing the characters toward a new hideout. Ten-episode seasons across three years give it the shape of a serialized pulp saga. Its mood mixes outlaw swagger, grindhouse camp, and raw dread, so fans of the 1996 film, Justified, and True Blood will find resonance in its blend of lawless Texas grit and vampire horror.
