The cast also includes Jesse Garcia as Texas Ranger Freddie Gonzalez, Adrianne Palicki is Vanessa Styles, Jake Busey is Professor Aiden Tanner, and Lane Garrison takes on the role of Pete played by John Hawkes in the feature film. Don Johnson will have a recurring role as Sheriff Earl McGraw.
 
“If the movie’s the short story, the series is the novel,” explained Rodriguez. From Dusk Till Dawn premieres on March 11, 2014.
 
The Plot:
 
From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series is a supernatural crime saga centered around bank robber, Seth Gecko (Cotrona) and his violent, unpredictable brother, Richard “Richie” Gecko (Holtz), who are wanted by the FBI and Texas Rangers Earl McGraw (Johnson) and Freddie Gonzalez (Garcia) after a bank heist left several people dead. While on an escape route to Mexico, Seth and Richie encounter former minister Jacob Fuller and his family who they take hostage. Using the family RV to make a run for the Mexican border, chaos ensues when the group detours to a strip club that is unknowingly populated by vampires, and forces them to fight until dawn in order to get out alive. The series deepens the tone of the film, adds new characters and backstories and expands the Mesoamerican mythology behind the vampires.
