Netflix has yet to announce the official release date of "Narcos" season 2, but fans are already eager to know what to expect from the plot of the upcoming season.
Since the network earlier announced that they will stick to the real timeline of Pablo Escobar's life, it means that the series will feature the death of the infamous cocaine smuggler, which happened shortly after he broke out of the La Catedral prison.
"Trust me, if we could find a way to keep him alive and keep Wagner on the show..." executive producer Eric Newman said in an interview with Slash Film in January this year. "He will die. The design of the show is we told 15 years of history in season one. At the point of Escobar's escape which is the summer of 1992, Escobar has 18 months to live. That's not something we can change."
But the production of the critically acclaimed Netflix Original series reportedly encountered a problem. According to a report from TMZ, the people behind the show initially wanted to shoot the famed bloody shootout between Escobar and the cops in the location where it originally happened. But the person who is currently renting the place reportedly declined because he does not want to anger the Medellin community and the owners of the house.
The report stated that people in Medellin are still not comfortable mocking Escobar's memory because of the Colombian drug lord's deep ties with the community. But one resident reportedly allowed the "Narcos" crew to film the very important death scene on the rooftop of his property.
"Narcos" season 2 will feature the return of Wagner Moura to portray the role of Pablo Escobar. Boyd Holbrook and Pedro Pascal will also reprise their roles as DEA agents Steve Murphy and Javier Pena, respectively.
