Nothing has been heard from Netflix regarding the release of "Narcos" Season 2 since renewing the series immediately after the release of its premiere season last August. With its very successful first season run, it is not surprising that fans are clamoring to know what will happen in the second season.
EP Eric Newman revealed in an interview that the series was originally intended to be a movie. The people behind the production however realized that they would have a lot more time and freedom telling their story in a TV series made them change their plan.
Director Jose Padilha further explained, "You got two teams running together through the narrative: One is the formation of the Medellín cartel, the story of small time criminals ... who stumbled by luck, by chance, upon a product that you can call the perfect product."
"How cocaine hit America and how it brought violence to America can only be narrated from the American perspective," Padilha continued.
In the "Narcos" Season 1 finale, Pablo Escobar aka "King of Cocaine" managed to disappear into the woods while being hunted by the Search Block. According to Christian Post, the Search Block was composed of the composite team of the DEA, US Navy Seal, Delta Force and ISA.
"Narcos" Season 2 is speculated to cover Escobar's life from his escape from prison until his death in the latter part of 1993. It would also seem that the manhunt for Escobar will take up much of the season with his death being its culminating event.
With Escobar's fate pretty much sealed in "Narcos" Season 2, there are a lot of speculations that Netflix will look into the life stories of the other heads of cartels that rose to power after his death.
It is a known fact that although Escobar's Medellin Cartel controlled about 80% of the cocaine trade, they were not without rivals reports Youth Health Mag . One of the most prominent was the Cali Cartel who was also behind the vigilante group Los Pepes that helped in the manhunt for Escobar.
Fans are left in the dark when Netflix will release "Narcos" Season 2 which is not even in the pre-production stage. For now, they can only speculate when their favorite series will return and what the next season will bring.
