‘From Dusk Till Dawn’ (Sept. 6, 9 p.m., El Rey Network)
This Season’s Theme: “Blowing up [The Gecko Brothers’] world and challenging them in new ways,” says showrunner Carlos Coto.
Where We Left Off: Santanico left to begin a new life free of the Nine Lords’ influence, while Seth and Richie were about to take their places as the newest of the Lords. The last of the Santa Sangre entered Kate’s body and she came back to life as…?
Coming Up: The destruction of the Titty Twister released what Coto calls a “prison gang” of demons from Xibalba, the Mayan version of hell. It’ll be up to the Geckos to deal with them.
Why So Episodic? The creature-of-the-week format this season seems reminiscent of Supernatural or Buffy the Vampire Slayer, but Coto says it was “a conscious decision between Robert [Rodriguez] and myself at the beginning of the season” to mirror the structure of the original movie. “In the second half of the film, the bar goes insane and all these creatures start showing up,” he says. “What’s the season-long version of that?” – Robert Chan
