‘Narcos’ Stars Preview Pablo Escobar on the Run in Season 2

Here we go again!

Season 2 of Netflix’s Narcos premieres Sept. 2, and the stars of the acclaimed drama promise another thrilling ride.

“Even better than the first one,” star Wagner Moura, who plays cocaine kingpin Pablo Escobar, tells Yahoo TV.

Moura and his fellow cast members Boyd Holbrook (DEA Agent Steve Murphy) and Pedro Pascal (DEA Agent Javier Pe?a) talked to Yahoo TV about what to expect from the new episodes.

“Season 2 is basically about Pablo on the run … hunted by the CIA, the DEA, the Cali cartel, the Colombian army,” Moura explains.

After escaping prison, Escobar went on the run for a year and a half before being gunned down in the streets of Medellín, Colombia. The show will follow him as he goes into hiding and tries to keep his family together. But Narcos will not take dramatic license; it will kill off Escobar just as he died in real life. The big mystery is actually who took the fatal shot. The Colombian police task force called Search Bloc takes credit for killing him, but the identity of the shooter is still unknown.

The real Murphy and Pe?a have teased elements of the story that have never been told. Their onscreen counterparts spent a lot of time talking to the men and training just like DEA agents would.

“Shot some guns,” Pascal notes. “Tried cocaine — just kidding!”

He adds, “That’s the most research I’ve ever done going into a part.”

All episodes of Narcos Season 2 premiere Friday, Sept. 2, on Netflix.
