Netflix’s hit series Narcos returns this year with a brand new setting and cast of characters. 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. Narcos: Mexico stars Michael Peña (Marvel’s Ant-Man) and Diego Luna (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story). Take a look at the intense new teaser just released by Netflix.
Narcos: Mexico will premiere on Netflix on November 16.
Here’s the official synopsis:
Narcos: Mexico will explore the origins of the modern drug war by going back to its roots, beginning at a time when the Mexican trafficking world was a loose and disorganized confederation of independent growers and dealers. Witness the rise of the Guadalajara Cartel in the 1980s as Félix Gallardo (Diego Luna) takes the helm, unifying traffickers in order to build an empire. When DEA agent Kiki Camarena (Michael Peña) moves his wife and young son from California to Guadalajara to take on a new post, he quickly learns that his assignment will be more challenging than he ever could have imagined. As Kiki garners intelligence on Félix and becomes more entangled in his mission, a tragic chain of events unfold, affecting the drug trade and the war against it for years to come.
