A bestselling cartel epic is set to make the leap from page to screen with "The Border." Deadline reports that a series based on Don Winslow's super-popular "Cartel Trilogy" is in the works at FX with a pilot deal. The 720-page tome "The Border" is actually the third book in the pulpy, epic crime novel series, following "The Cartel" and "The Power of the Dog".
Winslow's trilogy concluded with "The Border" in 2019, and it was only a matter of time before the story about the failed war on drugs made it to the small screen.

A pilot has been ordered by FX for “The Border,” announced FX’s president of entertainment, Nick Grad, on Wednesday.
Based on Don Winslow’s award-winning, critically acclaimed Border trilogy, the story is said to “explore America’s failed 50-year war on drugs through the intertwining narratives of characters on both sides of the Mexican-American border: an obsessive Mexican-American DEA agent, a young boxing promoter who inherits a drug empire, a jaded teenager who rises to power in the world of high class escorts, and an Irish kid from the streets of Hell’s kitchen who becomes a ruthless, international hitman”, per the network. “
The New York Times called the Cartel Trilogy “a hybrid of The Godfather and War and Peace” and “this generation’s defining work of American mass-culture storytelling on the border.” FX nabbed the rights to the trilogy in 2019.

From Dusk till Dawn: The Series, Season 1, Episode 7, “Pandemonium”
Written by Diego Gutierrez
Directed by Robert Rodriguez
Airs Tuesdays at 9pm (Et) on El Rey Network
“Is this really what we desire? To crawl at the feet of our masters? We are so much
more than slaves”
The thing to remember about From Dusk till Dawn is just how over the top it is. The same can be said about the television show. Over the course of just six episodes From Dusk till Dawn: The Series has proven itself to be campy, dangerous and way more enjoyable than this reviewer originally thought possible. Episode 6 seemed to be the thing that was going to drive everything for the rest of the season. Seth (D.J. Cotrona), Richie (Zane Holtz) and the Fuller family finally arrived at the Titty Twister and the war that Carlos (Wilmer Valderrama) warned was coming earlier in the season seems to have arrived.

Robert Rodriguez's El Rey Network is the Tuesday night home of "From Dusk Till Dawn: The Series," and among its stars is Jake Busey as Professor Tanner. Busey recently sat down with Dread Central to dish some info on the show.
"Fdtd" is taking tonight off so we thought what better time to catch our breath and chat with Busey about how he became involved with the series, how it compares to the movie on which it's based, what exactly the creatures in it are, and much more.
Busey opened by saying how thrilled he was that Rodriguez hired him for the role of Professor Tanner.
"I feel like I hit the lottery," Busey said. "Robert Rodriguez is the lifesaver of the Jake Busey career. I had some downtime. I had a couple years of complacency. If you're not on the gas, if you're not relentlessly pushing and pushing and pushing,...

From Dusk till Dawn: The Series, Season 1, Episode 2, “Blood Runs Thick”
Written by Diego Gutierrez
Directed by Robert Rodriguez
Airs Tuesdays at 9pm (Et) on El Rey Network
“Do not miss the importance of being self-sufficient”
The first episode of From Dusk till Dawn: The Series was a surprising success. Spry, funny, and campy, its pilot was a great introduction to the show. The series’ biggest challenge moving forward will be keeping up the momentum of the premiere and keeping the audience interested in characters we’re already familiar with from the movie.
“Blood Runs Thick” picks up almost directly where the pilot left off. We finally get flashbacks to the Gecko brothers’ disastrous bank robbery and get our first introduction to the Fuller family, disillusioned former preacher Jacob (Robert Patrick), daughter Kate (Madison Davenport), who’s looking to escape with her scripture quoting boyfriend, and adopted brother Scott (Brandon Soo Hoo).
Of course,...
