Fans just can't get enough of Pablo Escobar, as they eagerly await the release date of "Narcos" season 2.
Netflix Life may however have an answer, as it hinted that the show's sophomore season might be rolled out sometime in August 2016, according to FanSided.
"Well, according to our friends at Netflix Life, it should be similar to Season 1 - sometime around August," FanSided said.
Followers of "Narcos" certainly have a lot reasons to tune in on the critically-acclaimed series.
These include the decision to film the show in Columbia, and to tell the story from a "Gringo's" point of view.
But what makes the series really stand out its "true-to-form" narrative, which has hooked viewers since the show premiered August of this year.
"Perhaps the best thing about it is the true-to-form narrative," FanSided wrote. "Even though we know what happens to Escobar, the story is still engrossing."
There are rumors that "Narcos" season 2 will see the downfall of Columbian drug kingpin Pablo Escobar.
The crime-drama series is also expected to undergo a narrative shift, as DEA agents will be carrying out their ant-drug operations across the globe.
In an interview with the Guardian, executive producer Jose Padilha noted that "Narcos is actually "a tale of America's ever-failing drug war."
In describing Escobar's persona in the series, Padilha said, "We didn't make that up. He was that crazy."
He explained that the drug lord was "a megalomaniac whose desire and belief in his own grandeur [were actually fulfilled] because he stumbled upon cocaine."
The producer pointed out that the United States' drug policy during the Reagan era, which he said has hardly changed over the decades, has contributed to the "massive rise in the country's prison population" and "target supply abroad."
"They shaped the problem as a police problem, as a military problem," the Brazilian filmmaker said. "A problem of dealing with criminals in far lands."
"Narcos" season 2 is expected to mirror these realities, as the world continues to grapple with the drug menace.
