For those following the crime web TV series, "Narcos" you will be seeing a lot of new faces and a new plot in its next run. In the season 2 finale, Pablo Escobar, the rich and influential kingpin died after being shot by the authorities. Escobar's son, Sebastian Marroquin, however, denied that his dad was shot but stressed that the old Escobar committed suicide to save his family from being taken by the authorities per Master Herald.

Meanwhile, according to reports, "Narcos" Season 3 will focus on another Colombian gang. Per Gold Coast Bulletin, Pablo Escobar's death ended the era of drug trafficking. However, it also gives birth to another one.

There was a competition as to who will follow Pablo Escobar's influence. After Don Pablo's death, Mexico also stole Medellin's crown as the biggest narcotic operator. The Sinaloa cartel and the Jalisco New Generation Cartel (CJNG) rival in doing the bulks of the businesses per the US Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA).

Three men from the said cartels emerge as the next Pablo Escobar and they are Sinaloa's Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada García and Rafael Caro Quintero, and CJNG's Nemesio "El Mencho" Oseguera Cervantes. However, aside from the three the most popular kingpin that headed Sinaloa using the Escobar-style is the Mexican drug kingpin Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman Loera. Thus, "Narcos" Season 3 might feature one of them.
