The initial three series of Narcos focused on the drugs wars in Colombia, first with Escobar’s Medellin cartel and then the rise of the rival Cali cartel after his death. The trailer also unveiled the release date with Narcos: Mexico set to premiere on Netflix globally on 16 November. Watch the trailer here:
