The final moments in Pablo Escobar's life will soon unfold when Netflix drops "Narcos" season 2 in early September.
The biological crime thriller will tackle the last few months in the life of the notorious Colombian drug lord after he broke out of La Catedral prison. Based on the trailer for the upcoming season, the agents of DEA and the Colombian police will have a hard time capturing Escobar to bring him back behind bars.
Since the web crime drama will stick to the real-life events, the second season of "Narcos" will feature the death of the wealthiest criminal in history. This leads to speculations that Netflix will cancel the show after season 2.
But in an interview with Deadline, executive producer Eric Newman hinted that there are possible ways that they can use to extend the series beyond Escobar's life for season 3.
"The successors to Medellín were the Cali cartel, who had been No. 2 to Escobar and they liked it that way, but soon realized they had to get rid of him — and they are big part of Season 2," Newman stated.
The executive producer also mentioned that he is willing to do everything to extend the story of Escobar and the existence of lead actor Wagner Moura in the series if he could. "I'm hoping at some point, if we were to tell other stories, to bring [Escobar] through... I just love the guy so much and I'd love to keep working with him," Newman said.
Series director Jose Padilha claimed that the show is just not about Escobar, since it aims to showcase the extensive cocaine industry.
"The fact that we can take a broad perspective and talk about all the different drug lords allows us to take a critical view of the policies that America has and other countries have toward drugs, which is kill the supplies and do nothing about the demand... its a repeating story," Padilha said.
"Narcos" season 2 will be released by Netflix on Friday, Sept. 2.
