Narcos Posters: A Look at the Netflix Series

The lines are drawn in Netflix’s new Narcos posters

Netflix has released four “Narcos” posters featuring Wagner Moura as Pablo Escobar, Pedro Pascal as Javier Pena, Boyd Holbrook as Steve Murphy and Juan Pablo Raba as Gustavo. All ten episodes of “Narcos” will premiere on August 28 at 12:01am PST exclusively on Netflix.

“Narcos” chronicles the gripping real-life stories of the infamous drug kingpins of the late 1980s and the corroborative efforts of law enforcement to meet them head on in brutal, bloody conflict. Its gritty storytelling details the many, often-conflicting forces – legal, political, police, military and civilian – that clash in the effort to control cocaine, one of the world’s most valuable commodities.

The series re-partners executive producer José Padilha (Elite Squad, RoboCop) with acclaimed Brazilian actor Wagner Moura (Elite Squad, Elysium) as a captivating Pablo Escobar alongside Boyd Holbrook (Gone Girl) and Pedro Pascal (“Game of Thrones”) as real-life DEA agents Steve Murphy and Javier Peña. The series also features powerful performances by Colombia’s Juan Pablo Raba (“El corazón del océano”), British theater star Joanna Christie (“Once”), Mexican sensation Stephanie Sigman (also seen later this year in the next Bond installment, Spectre), Colombian actor Manolo Cardona (“Covert Affairs”), Brazil’s renowned André Mattos (Elite Squad), beloved Puerto Rican actor Luis Guzman (Boogie Nights) and the stunning Ana de la Reguera (“Eastbound & Down,” Nacho Libre) from Mexico.

The show is executive produced by Eric Newman (Children of Men), and the team of creators Chris Brancato (“Hannibal”) and Carlo Bernard & Doug Miro (The Sorcerer’s Apprentice). “Narcos” is produced by Gaumont International Television for Netflix.
