After witnessing the rise and fall of Pablo Escobar, the action is moving to a whole new territory.
Netflix has dropped the first trailer for Narcos: Mexico, and it teases a brand new location and a crazy new plot that's sure to hook audiences who loved the original series.
"Witness the rise of the Guadalajara Cartel in the 1980s as Félix Gallardo (Diego Luna) takes the helm, unifying traffickers in order to build an empire. When DEA agent Kiki Camarena (Michael Peña) moves his wife and young son from California to Guadalajara to take on a new post, he quickly learns that his assignment will be more challenging than he ever could have imagined," reads the official logline.

"As Kiki garners intelligence on Félix and becomes more entangled in his mission, a tragic chain of events unfold, affecting the drug trade and the war against it for years to come."
Michael Peña is on board to play Kiki Camarena, "a family man and an undercover DEA agent who garnered valuable intel through a series of informants around Félix and his newly minted Guadalajara cartel, but quickly found himself in c as he realized he had completely underestimated the sophistication of Gallardo's system."
Meanwhile, Diego Luna is attached to play Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo (“Félix”), "the leader of the Guadalajara cartel, one of the biggest narcos in the history of Mexico and the founder of the modern Mexican drug trade. Quiet but bold, inscrutable but sharp-minded, to all appearances he is a benevolent leader, loyal to his friends, associates, and employees...but his ambition comes before all else."
Narcos launched back in August 2015. The first two seasons focused on Escobar's reign in the world of cocaine, but the third season picked up after his demise and changed focus to the rise of the Cali Cartel
Initially, a fourth season was in the works at Netflix, but the streamer opted to switch things up by changing location, and kicking off a brand new story.
Narcos: New Mexico will span ten episodes and will premiere Friday, November 16.
