EL REY NETWORK FOUNDER ROBERT RODRIGUEZ AND AUSTIN, TEXAS MAYOR STEVE ADLER PROCLAIM AUGUST 25, 2015 "FROM DUSK TILL DAWN DAY"

Second Season Network Premiere of Robert Rodriguez's Signature Franchise to Air on Tuesday, August 25 at 9 PM ET

Austin, TX, August 24, 2015 - In anticipation of the second season premiere of the supernatural crime saga, FROM DUSK TILL DAWN: THE SERIES, El Rey Network Founder Robert Rodriguez and Austin, Texas Mayor Steve Adler officially proclaimed August 25, 2015 'From Dusk Till Dawn Day' during a ceremony today at Troublemaker Studios where both seasons of the series, based on the 1996 cult-classic film, were written, directed and filmed for a whole new generation of fans. Robert Rodriguez said: "Austin is my home and I'm honored to have collaborated with the Austin creative community all these years making movies and television for the world to see. I'm so proud that From Dusk till Dawn is Austin made and that we can celebrate this day with the community."

Set to premiere on El Rey Network on Tuesday, August 25th at 9pm ET, Rodriguez directs both the premiere and finale episodes. Season two brought some new and familiar faces to Austin including actors Danny Trejo, Jeff Fahey and pop-star Demi Lovato. In addition to the incredible talent the production has brought to Austin, it is predominately powered by Austinites keeping within Rodriguez's vision of supporting his local community. Mayor Adler said: "We are proud to be home to Robert Rodriguez's Troublemaker Studios, his incredible El Rey Network and of course, his iconic television original, FROM DUSK TILL DAWN: THE SERIES which has achieved cult status here in Austin and around the globe. Thank you to Robert, the cast and the tremendously talented individuals who have brought this extraordinary story to life here in our own backyard. It is testament to our belief that Austin is a creative hub for talented filmmakers and visionaries who are inspired by what our city has to offer."

With 10 all-new, action-packed hour-long episodes, season two of the horror/crime drama delves into a new and unexpected chapter for the characters after a night at the Titty Twister ripped apart everything they knew about themselves, each other and their souls.

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 (Lola: érase Una Vez); 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."

Robert Rodriguez, El Rey Network's founder and chairman and creator of the 1995 cult-classic film of the same name, directs the season premiere and finale; additional directors include showrunner Carlos Coto, Eduardo Sanchez, Alejandro Brugués, Joe Menendez, and Dwight Little.

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 (Cotrona) and his violent, unpredictable brother, Richard "Richie" Gecko (Holtz), 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 (Gonzalez) and Richie are outside Houston, doing their best Bonnie and Clyde; Seth and Kate (Davenport) are scraping by South of the Border; and Freddie Gonzalez (Garcia) is protecting his wife and young daughter in the suburbs. Carlos Madrigal (Valderrama) and Scott Fuller (Soo Hoo) 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.

Miramax is distributing "From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series" internationally in all territories.
