Ever since the 3rd season of the hit show Narcos Mexico was released in November 2021, everybody is waiting for Narcos Mexico Season 4. Made after another hit Netflix series Narcos, which chronicled the life of Pablo Escobar, the infamous Colombian drug lord, Narcos Mexico focuses on the drug trafficking in Mexico, especially the one carried out by the Guadalajara Cartel.
The 1st season of the series was released in 2018, with 10 episodes. The 2nd one, again with 10 episodes, was released in 2020, and the 3rd one on November 5, 2021. All seasons of the show received great critical feedback, for instance, getting 90% on Rotten Tomatoes. So, everyone is quite eager for a new season to drop. However, let’s see if that’s going to happen anytime soon.
Narcos Mexico Season 4 Release Date
Narcos Mexico Season 4 Release Date: When Is It?
Unfortunately, we come bearing bad news: Netflix canceled Narcos Mexico ahead of its Season 3 release, stating that both the showrunners and the platform agreed that the show does not need another season. Of course, as we knew that Narcos too only aired for 3 seasons, there was this expectation towards this series being 3 seasons too. Yet, we were still hoping for the show to continue a little bit more. It does not seem like Narcos Mexico Season 4 is going to happen as the showrunners clearly announced that they do not see a need to make the series continue.
So, the show does not have a release date or a trailer as we are not going to be seeing the continuity of the show again. However, one piece of good news can be given about another upcoming show that will include the co-creator and the executive producer of Narcos Mexico. The show will be about Griselda Blanco, the famous Colombian drug queen, and she will be played by Modern Family’s one and only Sofia Vergara. The filming for the series is going to begin in 2022 and the series is expected to come in 2023 or early 2024.
