For those out there eager to catch the serialized remake of 'From Dusk Till Dawn,’ but had no idea how, if at all, to get access to the El Rey Network, fret no more – Netflix is here. Well, at least for most of the world.
The ever-expanding streaming service announced today that they will air Robert Rodriguez’s TV remake of his cult classic film from 1996 for members in Canada, Ireland, Netherlands, Nordics, and the U.K. Those residing within the U.S. will have to catch the show on El Rey.
The 10-episode series bows on Tuesday, March 11 at 9/8c; the pilot will become available to Netflix subscribers on March 12, and each subsequent episode will appear on the service within 24 hours of its U.S. broadcast. In Latin America, the series will premiere on March 19.
Introducing the same characters from the movie while expanding on its universe, ‘From Dusk Till Dawn’ (which is already being dubbed "a Netflix Original Series," a tenuous title at best), follows bank robbers Seth and Richie Gecko as they avoid the police, kidnap a family, and find themselves caught up in one very strange and demonic town. And it all takes place across one lively night.
The series was developed by Rodriguez and his upstart El Rey Network, an American broadcaster aimed at Latin American viewers. D.J. Controna and Zane Holtz play the thieving brothers, while the series also stars Eiza González, Jesse Garcia, Madison Davenport, Brandon Soo Hoo, Wilmer Valderrama, Robert Patrick, Don Johnson, Adrianne Palicki and Jake Busy.

I know they say within 24hrs but in the past with Breaking Bad and The Killing they would be available on the UK Netflix (i have no ideo for the other regions) around 9am the next morning, roughly 6-12 hours after airing on US TV. I love that they are starting to expand the shows they do like this and hope it starts to become a norm. They are also doing it with Better Call Saul, the Breaking Bad spin-off, later in the year on the UK netflix. Until recently they've only had deals to do this with AMC but thats now AMC, NBC (Nashville on the Netherlands Netflix) and El Rey so things are looking up for the future.
