Narcos is set to come back for a 4th season on Netflix in 2018 and the upcoming season will be going back in time to explore the origins of Mexico’s Guadalajara cartel. Along with the setting, the show has added two new stars for its fourth season, Michael Pena and Diego Luna and will be set in Mexico City to explore the rise of the Guadalajara cartel. Though Pena and Luna’s roles have not yet been revealed, the move to Mexico signals the end of main character Javier Pena’s story and a change in direction for the show.
Up until the upcoming season four, the series has been shot entirely in Colombia to track the original cocaine king, Pablo Escobar and the successors to his Medellin cartel, Cali. The four Cali cartel bosses were the villains in season three and their deaths and incarcerations brought the Narcos timeline up to the mid-1990s.
“The origins of the Guadalajara cartel are in the late 1970s and early 1980s, so Narcos is going back in time,”
The popular Netflix drama is sure to continue its success with the new premise and additions to the cast.
