With Pablo Escobar out of the mix at the end of the second season of “Narcos,” the series has had to pivot a little, but the next batch of episodes will find law enforcement taking on a new kingpin.
DEA agent Javier Peña (Pedro Pascal) will be part of the team looking to take down the Cali Cartel in “Narcos” season 3. Boyd Holbrook and Joanna Christie return as well, in what looks like a season that wipes the slate clean in some regards, but also gives audiences the familiar elements they’ve come to expect from the popular show: drugs, action, and exotic locations.

Now that the bloody hunt for Pablo Escobar has ended, the DEA turns its attention to the richest drug trafficking organization in the world: the Cali Cartel. Led by four powerful godfathers, this cartel operates much differently than Escobar’s, preferring to bribe government officials and keep its violent actions out of the headlines.
“Narcos” season 3 arrives on September 1st.
