“Narcos” producer Eric Newman has stated that the series was also going to go past Pablo Escobar. The teaser for “Narcos” Season 3 all but confirms that the next season will focus on the Cali Cartel, many of whom have been introduced in the series due to their connection to Pablo Escobar.

The next installment, "Narcos" Season 3 will be a chronological sequel and pick up where Pablo Escobar left the drug business. However, The Cali Cartel were not as violent as Pablo and were better connected politically. In the current season, we see members of the Cali Cartel indirectly work with Search Bloc through Los Pepes to aid in hunting down Pablo Escobar.

In "Narcos" Season 3, fans should expect a focus on corruption from the American and Colombian drug enforcement agents and the leaders pulling the strings.
