Luna will reprise his role as drug cartel boss Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo whereas McNairy will essay the part of the mysterious narrator of the show, unveiled in the finale episode of the first instalment. He was an off-screen character throughout the length of Narcos: Mexico.

As per moviefone.com, Luna's presence in the second season had been cast in doubt since he is also a part of Disney+ show on Star Wars' Rogue One character Cassian Andor.
