‘Narcos’ Season 2 Trailer: Pablo Escobar Is A Little More Wanted Than Usual
One time I made a joke about having never met a single person in real life who has actually watched Netflix’s crime seriesNarcosand I instantly regretted it.Narcosfans immediately began to emerge from the woodwork to let me know how much they enjoy the show and how I should give it a chance and so on and so forth. And since I’m fascinated by the drug war and would very much like morePedro Pascalin my life, I think I may take them up on that suggestion.
Meanwhile, theNarcosseason 2 trailer has arrived and while I’m sure it’ll get the dedicated fans properly excited, this is the exact kind of preview that helps pique my interest.
The second season ofNarcoscontinues telling the (very true and very horrifying) story of notorious drug kingpin Pablo Escobar (Wagner Moura) and the DEA agents who set out to capture him. The new episodes find Escobar on the run from the authorities after narrowly escaping arrest, fighting to keep his criminal empire together while fleeing the increasingly determined Steve Murphy and Javier Peña (played byBoyd Holbrook and Pascal). While I haven’t watchedNarcos, I can say that the portion of Escobar’s life covered by these new episodes should make for genuinely enthralling television.
If you do happen to know what went down with Escobar in reality, you may be wondering how much longer the show could possibly go on. There’s no clear answer to how or if Netflix plans to extendNarcospast the Escobar story, but producer Eric Newmanhas made it clearthat the show in its current form was always designed to have a specific ending. If there is a season three, it may have to just run with another main plot entirely.
All ten episodes ofNarcosseason 2 will drop arrive on Netflix on Friday,July 29, 2025. So start gathering whatever substances (legal or otherwise) thatyou require for a proper binge watch of the whole thing. Here’s the official synopsis:
