Pascal On "Narcos" Season 3

The 41-year-old Chilean actor Pedro Pascal gave teasers as to what fans could expect in the coming "Narcos" Season 3. According to him, "Narcos" Season 3 will pick up right after Medellin cartel drug lord Pablo Escobar died in December 2, 1993. "We go after the [California] cartel, people know a lot less about the Cali cartel, including myself," he said. Pedro Pascal plays the role of DEA agent Javier Peña in the hit Netflix series, alongside Boyd Holbrook as agent Steve Murphy.

He hinted that the Cali cartel took over Miami and continues the operation in New York after the death of Pablo Escobar, saying there will still be a lot of cocaine in "Narcos" Season 3.

When asked if people in Colombia are welcoming to the series, he said that the locals who see it love "Narcos" Season 1 and Season 2, The Daily Mail said in a report.
