With Pablo Escobar out of the mix at the end of the second season of “Narcos,” the series has had to pivot a little, but the next batch of episodes will find law enforcement taking on a new kingpin.

DEA agent Javier Peña (Pedro Pascal) will be part of the team looking to take down the Cali Cartel in “Narcos” season 3. Boyd Holbrook and Joanna Christie return as well, in what looks like a season that wipes the slate clean in some regards, but also gives audiences the familiar elements they’ve come to expect from the popular show: drugs, action, and exotic locations.

As tends to be the case with successful shows, “Narcos” is set to return to Netflix for its third season this fall. That’s more notable now than it might have been a few months ago, however, as the streaming giant is now in the habit of canceling certain series (sorry, “Sense8”). Five first-look photos and a video announcing the return date of September 1 have been shared exclusively with IndieWire; avail yourself of all below.

With Pablo Escobar no longer a factor, season three will focus on the rise of the Cali Cartel. DEA agent Javier Peña (Pedro Pascal) can be seen pointing ominously at them on one of those cork boards used to map the connections between shady criminal enterprises (see also “The Sopranos” and every iteration of “Law and Order), with such names as Gilberto Rodriguez,...

The Netflix series “Narcos” chronicles the life of Colombian drug kingpin Pablo Escobar (played by Wagner Moura) and the two DEA agents desperate to hunt him down. As Escobar takes control of Colombia, cocaine from the country starts to take over America, and drug-related violence follows not far behind. The DEA sends Steve Murphy (Boyd Holbrook), Javier Peña (Pedro Pascal), and a whole task force to work with Colombian authorities to put an end to the drug trade. But as they arrive in the country, Escobar has problems of his own with rival gangs, business associates, and political violence that brings unwanted attention to his gang. At the start of the second season, Escobar escapes from prison untouched and has taken over the reigns of the drug business once again while the authorities are planning a full invasion to bring him down. Watch the trailer for the new season below.

TV show description:

"Plata o plomo?” Cold, enriching silver or searing, deadly lead?

The white-hot world of the 1979 Columbia-to-Miami cocaine trade continually offers the option and exacts the perilous toll on its partners, enforcers, traffickers, and competitors.

The trade is run or ravaged at unequal turns by the infamous Pablo Escobar (Wagner Moura). His position is almost mythical for the time -- part Robin Hood and part murderous dictator.

"Narcos," Netflix's new drama about the rise of the Colombian drug cartels, opens with a title card explaining, "Magical realism is defined as what happens when a highly detailed, realistic setting is invaded by something too strange to believe. It then adds, "There is a reason magical realism was born in Colombia." This observation — which the "Narcos" creators like enough to have a character repeat in a later episode — suggests a magical realism take on the story of Pablo Escobar and the rest of the Medellin Cartel. Instead, it's a pretty straightforward, if lengthy (the first season has 10 episodes; I've seen the first 7), take on the sordid, tragic business of Pablo and his comrades. It moves at a fast clip and is eminently watchable, even as it feels like a pretty superficial take on the subject. Created by Chris Brancato, Doug Miro, and Carlo Bernard, with the first episode directed...

A brand new trailer has arrived for Netflix’s next original series Narcos, exploring the activities of infamous drug kingpin Pablo Escobar. Set during the druggy excesses of the 1980s, the series delves into the exploits of the kingpin himself and the Medellin cartel, who aided him in funnelling buckets of cocaine in and out of Colombia. This latest preview provides new insight thanks to Boyd Holbrook’s voiceover as one of the DEA agents lumped with the thankless task of bringing Escobar down.

Alongside Holbrook is Pedro Pascal (Game of Thrones) as a fellow agent and Wagner Moura in the plum role of the gangster himself. And the blood-soaked, violence-fuelled gangster tip is played heavily here, with more than a few nods to some of the genre’s classics. What’s worthwhile noting while watching the trailer is how little public presence the series has thus far. It’s...

Netflix has been having a hit-or-miss year with its originals, with runaway successes like Marvel’s Daredevil and lackluster bows like Bloodline and Sense8, but Narcos definitely has all the trappings of another hit for the streaming giant.

The first trailer for the 10-episode series paints it as a fast-paced, well-researched exploration of the rise of Colombian drug kingpin Pablo Escobar as his Medellin cartel ruled the country with an iron fist in the late 1980s. Narcos simultaneously looks inside Escobar’s empire and follows the law enforcement officials tasked with bringing him down.

Wagner Moura plays Escobar, while Boyd Holbrook and Pedro Pascal take the other two lead roles as DEA agents Steve Murphy and Javier Pena. Jose Padilha (RoboCop, Elite Squad) directed all 10 installments of the series, which will land on Netflix August 28.

Here’s the official synopsis for Narcos, below:

Netflix is readying viewers for the premiere of its newest original series. The streaming video-on-demand platform dropped the official trailer for its crime drama Narcos, which premieres on August 28, 2015.

The Narcos series trailer introduces viewers to the lavish yet dangerous lifestyle of infamous Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar (played by Elite Squad’s Wagner Moura). The Netflix original series will follow the story of Escobar and other high-level cocaine kingpins of the 1980s as U.S. law enforcement officers try to take them down.

Netflix originally announced the production of Narcos back in April 2014. Moura was already on board as Escobar, along with his previous Elite Squad director José Padilha. In June, Game of Thrones’s Pedro Pascal joined the cast, which also includes Boyd Holbrook, Juan Pablo Raba, Joanna Christie, and Stephanie Sigman. Doug Miro, Eric Newman, Carlo Bernard, and Chris Brancato serve as executive producers.

Back when Netflix first started producing its own original series, I wondered how many they would ultimately ever make. Now they are making so many I can hardly keep up with them all, but after watching the trailer for "Narcos" -- which debuts August 28 -- I've found one I'm definitely going to need to keep my eye on. "Narcos" centers on 1980s drug kingpin Pablo Escobar (Wagner Moura) and the famed Medellin cartel in Colombia, long considered among the most violent, ruthless and wealthy organized crime rings in the modern era. Escobar lorded over the Medellin cartel until his assassination in 1993. Based on the trailer, it seems this first season focuses in on the mid-80s, at which point Escobar and his men were trafficking tons of cocaine each day and raking in billions of dollars each year, though the feds were hot on their heels. Created by Jose Padilha...

Irish actress Laura O'Toole has cast a spell on Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe. Radcliffe, who was just 17 when he met the Dublin actress, says O'Toole's his girl. The couple met when they were cast together in the steamy London play, Equus. Radcliffe was playing the male lead while O'Toole was an understudy for the female lead, Jill Potter fans were outraged when Radcliffe's character engaged in a lengthy naked scene with Jill, who was played by Joanna Christie. Radcliffe and O'Toole wound up on stage together just once as the play's management decided to give O'Toole a shot on a single matinee performance. The couple said they grew "very close" during the show's run in London's West End. Just recently, Radcliffe, who is worth a whopping $32m, celebrated his 20th birthday with the 24-year-old O'Toole. Talking to Ok! magazine in Britain last week Radcliffe confirmed rumors that O'Toole and he are an item.

Always keeping his lips tightly sealed when he is asked about his love life, Daniel Radcliffe finally reveals his dating partner. "My girlfriend is Laura O'Toole, and she was in 'Equus' with me. But I don't really want to talk about that, because she's not here and it's not fair," the British actor tells U.K. Ok! Magazine.

Daniel and Laura were co-stars in a revival of Peter Shaffer's 1973 play "Equus". Laura was known as the understudy for the lead female character of Jill, played by Joanna Christie, who engaged in a lengthy nude sex scene with Daniel's character Alan Strang.

Report that Daniel dating Laura, who is four years his senior, first emerged in November 2007 after they played together in the particular play. They were said to be "very close" and were even photographed enjoying a shopping trip together in Fullham, West London.

Back in January 2008, the "Harry...

British actress Joanna Christie has defended Equus co-star Daniel Radcliffe for appearing nude on the London stage, insisting the play is about much more than him stripping off. The Harry Potter star, 17, defended his decision to appear naked in a revival of Peter Shaffer's 1973 play earlier this month, after the promotional pictures for the show caused controversy among parents of young fans of the boy wizard. But 24-year-old Christie is amazed by the amount of press attention Radcliffe has attracted, and urges critics to look beyond the raunchy scenes to see the meaning of the play itself. She says, "I can't believe there are people saying he's a bad role model for children. He's an actor playing a part, and in the story he happens to have a relationship with a girl. The play is on school syllabuses. It's an amazingly interesting, complex story. It's not about nudity or sex. It's about a lot of very complex issues. When we do (the nude scene) in the context of the play it's really beautiful and natural. I expected some publicity because of Daniel but not stories and photos everywhere."...
