Chronicling the intense real-life stories of the infamous drug kingpins of the late 1980s and the corroborative efforts of law enforcement to meet them in brutal and bloody conflict head-on, Narcos is Netflix's brand new original series which will see a number of conflicting forces clash in the effort to control cocaine.
Re-partnering creator and executive producer José Padilha (Elite Squad, RoboCop) with Brazilian actor Wagner Moura (Elite Squad, Elysium), Moura will step into the role of Pablo Escobar alongside Boyd Holbrook (Gone Girl) and Pedro Pascal (Game of Thrones) as real-life DEA agents Steve Murphy and Javier Peña respectively.
Juan Pablo Raba, Joanna Christie, Stephanie Sigman, Manolo Cardona, André Mattos, Luis Guzman and Ana de la Reguera will all also star in the upcoming series.
Eric Newman, Doug Miro, Carlos Bernard and Chris Brancato will all also serve as executive producers on the show, with Gaumont International Television producing for Netflix.
All ten episodes of Narcos will premiere on August 28 at 8.01am BST exclusively on Netflix.
