Gallardo was arrested in 1989, so Narcos: Mexico presumably won’t make it all the way to the present day, but the show is getting closer.
Since Narcos: Mexico ended Season 1 with Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo ordering the murder of a DEA agent, Season 2 should turn up the heat on the drug lord and bring the narrative closer than ever to the present day.
Diego Luna shared that the names viewers will hear throughout Season 2 are “people that actually are there,” with most of them still alive and many of them still operating.
