‘NARCOS’, A Netflix Original Series About Pablo Escobar, The Medellin Cartel and the Agents Who Pursued Them

NARCOS is a new original series by Netflix that tells the serialized story of Pablo Escobar, the Medellin cartel and the multi-national law enforcement agents who pursued them during the 1980s in the bloody “War on Drugs“.

NARCOS is the true story of the U.S. and Colombian efforts to battle the Medellin cartel during the cocaine-fueled drug wars of the 1980’s. Multi-layered and multi-faceted, NARCOS depicts a brutal world where lines are blurred and little is black and white.

The series premieres on August 28, 2015.
