Netflix's popular TV series "Narcos" is all set for its second season. Based on the life of Pablo Escobar, the drug lord from Medellin, the first season was extremely well-received. The upcoming season, with 10 episodes in its kitty, returns on the 2nd of September.

The trailer for Season 2 reveals new levels of danger for the drug kingpin. His ongoing war with the Colombian police department finds no rest. If anything, Escobar realises that the threat to his mother and his wife is very real. Movie News Guide has another shocking revelation for fans. In one of these 10 upcoming episodes, Escobar might meet his end.

Since the shows on Netflix are nearly always crisp and right-on-the-bull's eye, and considering how true to the original tale this 1980s show has remained in its first season, this is to be expected. Whether the show will come back for a third season has not been officially confirmed. Parent Herald, however, broaches the arguments in favour of a third run. The producers of "Narcos" have explained that while Pablo is currently the central character, there are other names in the story, too.

Moreover, the end of Escobar does not necessarily mean the end of the issue that lies at the core of the show. Executive producer Eric Newman stated, "We plan on stopping when cocaine stops. I think there's a reason why we call this show 'Narcos' and not Pablo Escobar. [It's] very much about the trade."

In the meantime, a rumour in the guessing game for Season 2 suggests that Horacio Carrillo, the dedicated Colombian police officer, may also meet his end. The trailer shows a shot of Carrillo begging for his life. The hostility between the two sides probably gets personal, and collaboration between Colombia and the U.S. may also be explored in the new episodes.
