Pablo Escobar‘s reign might have ended, but that doesn’t mean the drugs have stopped flowing. As long as there is demand, someone will provide the supply, and in “Narcos” season three, a new cartel wields power in the popular Netflix series.
A new ensemble of players joins the show — Damian Alcazar, Francisco Denis, Alberto Ammann, Pepe Rapazote, Matias Varela, Michael Stahl-David, Miguel Angel Silvestre, Arturo Castro — taking roles on both sides of the law, as new godfathers rise to take over the lucrative, illegal drug game. Here’s the official synopsis:
Cocaine cartels are all about succession: The day Pablo Escobar went down, the Cali Cartel became public enemy number one. They called themselves the Gentlemen of Cali – the biggest drug lords you’ve probably never heard of. Led by four powerful godfathers, the Cali Cartel turned the cocaine trade into a global enterprise.
In the words of SZA, “Somebody get the tacos, somebody spark the blunt, Let’s start the ‘Narcos’ off at episode one” — the series returns on September 1st.
