The crime series will return to Netflix with two more seasons.
Netflix has announced plans to develop two more seasons of its original series, 'Narcos.' The show's first two seasons starred Wagner Moura, Boyd Holbrook, and Pedro Pascal. Season two premiered on September 2.
This raw, gritty series chronicles the gripping real-life stories of the drug kingpins of the late 1980s and the corroborative efforts of law enforcement to meet them head on in brutal, bloody conflict. It 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. In the second season, notorious drug kingpin Pablo Escobar is on the run, with the Colombian authorities in relentless pursuit -- and determined to put an end to his illegal activities.

The series is created by Chris Brancato, Carlo Bernard, and Doug Miro. Seasons one and two are currently available to stream on Netflix. An exact release date has not been announced yet, but season three is expected to premiere in 2017.
