Netflix’s hit series Narcos returns this year with a brand new setting and cast of characters. The first three seasons dealt with the rise and fall of Pablo Escobar and his drug empire in Columbia. This new season is being called a “reset” and will depict the rise of the Guadalajara drug cartel in Mexico as an American DEA agent attempts to take them down. Netflix has released a new poster and the first set of stills from Narcos: Mexico.
The new series takes place in the 1980s, at the beginning of the modern American drug war. Michael Peña, known for the role of Luis in Marvel’s Ant-Man movies, plays DEA Agent Kiki Camarena, who is sent to Gudalajara to infiltrate the cartel.
Mexican actor Diego Luna plays Félix Gallardo, the leader of the Guadalajara cartel and one of the biggest narcos in the history of Mexico. Diego has been in films like Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and Y Tu Mamá También .
Narcos: Mexico will premiere on Netflix sometime in 2018.
