Launched in 2013, El Rey Network at its peak reached over 40 million households stocked with a range of English-language scripted and unscripted programming catering to Latino audiences and beyond. The cable channel shut down at the end of 2020.
“El Rey has always been a network for the people — a mainstream outlet where we discover diverse, independent voices,” Rodriguez said in a statement. “The fact that we can also now make our catalogue of kick-ass programming available for free to all gives me enormous joy.” “Red 11,” based on Rodriguez’s experiences in a medical research facility to finance his first feature film, “El Mariachi,” had its world premiere at SXSW. The movie is set in a dark, twisted world of legal drug research where college kids become lab rats to make quick money. Written, produced and directed by the filmmaker, “Red 11” was co-written with Rodriguez’s son Racer Max and went on to play in the Directors’ Fortnight section at the Cannes Film Festival.
