‘Narcos: Mexico’ Gets A November Premiere Date & Trailer

by Dave Elliott

The 4th Season of Netflix’s drug drama moves from Colombia as Narcos: Mexico gets a November premiere date on the streaming service.

‘Narcos: Mexico’ will explore the origins of the modern drug war by going back to its roots, beginning at a time when the Mexican trafficking world was a loose and disorganized confederation of independent growers and dealers. The drama follows 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. 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’s Kiki Camarena is described as 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. He quickly finds himself in trouble as he realizes he had completely underestimated the sophistication of Gallardo’s system.

Diego Luna plays 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.

Along with the two new leads, the show has racked up an impressive cast of additional talent. They include Aaron Staton (‘Mad Men’) as Butch Sears; Alejandro Edda (‘Fear the Walking Dead’) as Joaquin “Chapo” Guzman; Alyssa Diaz (‘Ray Donovan’, ‘The Rookie’) as Mika Camarena; Clark Freeman (‘We Go On’) as Ed Heath; Ernesto Alterio (‘Cable Girls’) as Salvador Osuna Nava; Horacio Garcia Rojas (‘Texas Rising’) as Tomas Morlet; Jackie Earle Haley (‘Watchmen’, ‘Little Children’) as Jim Ferguson; Joaquín Cosío (‘Quantum of Solace’) as Don Neto (‘Ernesto-Fonseca Carillo’); José María Yazpik (‘Narcos’) reprises his role as Amado Carrillo Fuentes; Lenny Jacobson (‘Nurse Jackie’) as Roger Knapp; Matt Letscher (‘Scandal’, ‘The Flash’) as James Kuykendall, and Yul Vazquez (‘The Looming Tower’, ‘Magic City’) as John Gavin.

Narcos: Mexico‘ (aka Narcos Season 4) premieres on Netflix UK and around the world from Friday, 16th November 2018.
