WGAW’s 2015 TV Staffing brief actually showed declines in women and minority writers. The Writers Guild of America West released a report on representation behind the scenes and despite marginal improvements in front of the cameras, its clear there’s still a lot of work that needs to be done. That's really why I picked From Dusk Till Dawn to be the first show to do cause I knew it would have a really multi-ethnic cast and be able to have a predominately diverse writing room and directing room and really move the needle to where representation on prime time on regular network is 2-3% even though you’re 17% of the country, on our network its 60-70% Rodriguez is proud of the fact that not only is he employing these actors but also giving room for others to get behind the camera or in the writers rooms to continue to build up the representation. The best way to get the representation we want on TV is to make sure our voices are the ones in the writing rooms or director's chairs. It's a recurring theme we hear all the time. Rodriguez talks about how diverse the El Ray Network is even behind the scenes as well.

But it’s more than just on screen diversity. It’s represented in the makeup of the cast to the mythology behind the culebras.

One of the first things you’ll notice about From Dusk Till Dawn is how Rodriguez has built the show around Mexican/Aztec culture. As an African-American, I can confidently say that representation is long overdue. Rodriguez has put together an amazing product with an incredible cast to really delve into an expanded mythology for this cult classic.ĭiversity is a hot topic in entertainment these days with underrepresented minorities demanding recognition for the work they’re doing as well as seeing more content built around their lives and culture. I immediately realized the huge mistake I made in putting off watching this show. Luckily it was and I started watching the series.

When I got the email about the opportunity, I rushed to Netflix hoping that the series was still available. Netflix added Season 1 of From Dusk Till Dawn and it’s been sitting in my Netflix List for months. I was very interested in seeing how this would play out but unfortunately I didn’t get the El Rey Network (Hi Verizon FIOS, I need you to get on this).

I remember when Rodriguez’s El Rey Network was announced as well as the series based off the 1996 movie starring George Clooney and Quentin Tarantino. One of the press obligations I looked forward to the most at this year’s New York Comic Con was sitting down with Robert Rodriguez and the cast of the series From Dusk Till Dawn.
