Rodriguez is to helm the first two installments of the series, which will star Don Johnson, D.J. Cotrona, Zane Holtz and Jesse Garcia.

"If the movie's the short story, the series is the novel," Rodriguez said in a statement Wednesday. "We have assembled an amazing cast and crew, and viewers can expect to be part of a wild ride when the series premieres on El Rey Network next spring."
