Diego Luna is headed back to the cartel…
Netflix has announced that season 2 of Narcos: Mexico, starring the 40-year-old Mexican actor/filmmaker, will start streaming on February 13. A trailer for the new installment was also released.
As returning cartel boss Miguel Gallardo (Luna) sits at the head of a table, surrounded by friends and enemies (everyone is revealed to be packing heat), a DEA agent (Scoot McNairy) listens and says, “Backstabbing’s hard work; it wears you out, eventually. No one stays on top forever. And no one is untouchable.”
After three seasons in Colombia, the series changed locations for Narcos: Mexico and focused on two new characters: Miguel and Kiki Camarena (Michael Peña).
Season 1 concluded with McNairy’s unnamed DEA agent, who previously served as narrator and had been unseen, making his way south of the border to take down Gallardo for Camarena’s murder.
