The official trailer for the new, revamped Narcos is here, with a fresh cast and a different geographical focus: Mexico. Producers Doug Miro Bernard and Carlo had originally intended the show, Narcos: MexicoNetflix Original Series, which followed the Colombian drug war of the '70s,' 80s and early '90s involving the Medellin Cartel (led by Pablo Escobar) and the Cali Cartel. In the end, the producers decided to release a spin-off, instead. Loosely "inspired by true events," the new Narcos will trace the genesis of the drug in the 80s, when

Diego Luna stars as Felix Gallardo, known as El Padrino (The Godfather), a police officer turned drug lord who led the defunct Guadalajara Cartel in the '80s. Luna is pursued by Michael Peña, who plays DEA agent Enrique "Kike" Camarena, whose murder and torturing has been attributed to Gallardo. From the trailer, it seems we can expect that the location has changed, there are still the action-filled scenes, drugs, and bloodlust. And it should be no surprise since, the market is driven by demand, and the public's hunger for Hollywood's sensationalism of Latin American drug wars appears to be insatiable. Narcos: Mexico will meet some hunger when it premieres on November 16.
