"Narcos" season 3 will see the end of Medellin Cartel, giving rise to the world's most powerful drug ring, the Cali and Mexican Cartel. Although fans will greatly miss the captivating portrayal of Wagner Moura as Pablo Escobar, fans are wondering if the next antagonists can live up to Escobar's performance. It appears that pressure will be placed upon Javier Peña as the next narrator of the series.
Javier Peña To Tell The Story In 'Narcos' Season 3?
"Narcos" season 3 spoilers from GamenGuide recently hinted that the Cali Cartel will take over after the Medellin Cartel crumbled with the death of Pablo Escobar. Three names were suggested to take the spotlight that Escobar left. Aside from Helmer "Pacho" Herrera, Gilberto Rodriguez Orejuela and "Chepe," undue pressure will be put on Javier Peña as the next narrator of the series. Latest rumors suggest that "Narcos" season 3 will be getting a new narrator, replacing Steve Murphy (Boyd Holbrook).
"Narcos" season 3 executive producer Eric Newman sat down with Entertainment Weekly and discussed the role of Javier Peña (Pedro Pascal) in the upcoming season. To recall, fans saw Peña returning to the United States and getting recruited by the DEA. Peña was closely involved in the immerging Cali Cartel, prompting fans to think the story may be narrated by him. For two seasons, Steve Murphy guided the audience with his unique and uncanny narration.
Can The Cali Cartel Live Up To Pablo Escobar's Medellin Cartel?
While it was hard to kill the powerful Pablo Escobar, Eric Newman emphasized that "Narcos" is a story of how cocaine came into power. That means fans will see other drug lords in the cocaine industry in "Narcos" season 3. However, fans can't help but have great expectations after Wagner Moura set the bar with his astounding portrayal of Pablo Escobar. While the Medellin Cartel mainly revolved around Escobar, the Cali Cartel played with government conspiracies and power.
Do you think Cali Cartel can bring in as much drama and thrill as Medellin Cartel did for the last two seasons? Do you think Pedro Pascal will replace Steve Murphy? "Narcos" season 3 has no definite air date but is expected to return sometime next year.
