The El Rey Network and Miramax announced today production has started on season two of Robert Rodriguez’s “From Dusk Till Dawn,” a small-screen adaptation of Rodriguez’s 1996 Aztec vampire thriller. The new season is slated to premiere in late summer this year with Rodriguez behind the camera.

“From Dusk Till Dawn” sees the return of many of its original stars including D.J. Cotrona and Zane Holtz as fugitive brothers Seth and Richie Gecko, Wilmer Valderrama as serpent villain Carlos Madrigal, and stunner Eiza González as vampire queen Santánico Pandemonium.

The synopsis reads:

Season Two begins with our characters in their separate worlds – Santánico and Richie are outside Houston, living like Bonnie and Clyde; Seth and Kate (Madison Davenport) are scraping by in the South of the Border

Freddie Gonzalez (Jesse Garcia) is protecting his wife and young daughter in a Houston suburb: and Carlos Madrigal (Valderrama) and Scott Fuller (Brandon Soo-Hoo) emerge from the Titty Twister, as changed men. They will all come together once again – this time facing off against an even bigger threat.
