'Narcos: Mexico' Season 3 Will Connect To Current Events In Real World

The stage is set for even more bloodshed in “Narcos: Mexico” Season 3. After the fall of a powerful cartel, new groups will fight for control, and the situation will escalate quickly. In a recent interview, lead cast members Diego Luna and Scoot McNairy talked about the events on the show and how the story is now heading towards the real world events.

Luna and McNairy play the rivals Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo and DEA agent Walt Breslin respectively. After both sides lost in the Season 2 finale, the two characters came face to face and talked about the consequences.

In an interview with Collider, Luna pointed out that the conversation between his character and Walt shows that this is not the ending but rather the beginning. The actor explained that the violence that is to follow now connects to how things are in Mexico today.

One of the consequences of taking Miguel out of power is the rise of new drug cartels to take his place. The story has now shifted to the civil war between Sinaloan and Tijuana cartels, CBR reported.

So far, Miguel had been doing his best to keep the lid on the violence between the Sinaloan and Tijuana cartels. Since he is no longer in charge in “Narcos: Mexico” Season 3, the plot could be about what will happen when there is unrestricted violence on the streets.

In a previous interview, Luna explained that at the heart of the show the story isn’t about these drug cartel personalities, Variety reported. The TV series is attempting to show the audience the system that allows these criminals to exist and operate.

Netflix hasn’t yet approved “Narcos: Mexico” for Season 3. The producers, however, are hopeful of continuing the story. The release date may be announced when the show is given the green light.
