'Narcos' Season 3 Cast Members Share Set Photos on Instagram; Story to Focus on El Chapo
Production for "Narcos" season 3 is currently underway, and that means fans can look forward to more stories involving the Colombian drug trade. But until Netflix announces a premiere date, some of the show's cast members have been sharing filming updates on Instagram to tide fans over.
Pedro Pascal, who plays DEA agent Javier Pena, shared photos of the production set in Cartagena, Colombia. One shot sees a colorful alley, while another features the Iglesia San Pedro church.
Another photo sees Pascal taking a selfie with Miguel Angel Silvestre, a new cast member added to season 3 of the series. Silvestre, known for his work on "Sense8," will portray a money launderer for a cartel, although for which cartel remains to be seen. It can be recalled that season 2 depicted the downfall of Pablo Escobar (Wagner Moura) as well as his Medellin Cartel. With Escobar out of the picture, the Cali Cartel will take center stage.

However, this time around, it looks like the business will spread elsewhere - particularly Mexico. The official Twitter page of the Netflix series shared a clip in January that was captioned, "We'll catch up with you, El Chapo."
For those who are unaware, El Chapo is the nickname of Mexican drug lord Joaquin Guzman. Since the Cali Cartel was responsible for penetrating the Mexican market with its drug trade, it is believed that season 3 will show how Mexicans will get involved in the cocaine industry. And this is where El Chapo will come in, although an actor has yet to be announced for the role.
Silvestre has also been very active on Instagram, sharing photos of his time filming season 3 with his co-star, Pascal. One photo sees them goofing around against a blue gate of sorts, while another sees them smiling as they stand under an umbrella.
More recently, Silvestre shared a snap that seemed to indicate that filming for season 3 - or at least those involving his scenes - has wrapped in Colombia.
"Narcos" season 3 is expected to premiere sometime this year.
