'Narcos' Season 2 Starts Filming In Colombia; Steve Murphy To 'Amp Up His Mission' To Bring Escobar Down

"Narcos" season 2 updates keep fans afloat as they wait for more information about the upcoming run.

New reports claimed that the new season has been slated to return to Netflix on August 2016, exactly a year after the previous run premiered. Sources claimed that filming has already begun, but the plot remains to be a mystery to the public as of writing.

"Reports say that filming for the crime drama TV series has already commenced in Bogota, Colombia," Master Herald noted.

The article continued to say that Boyd Holbrook's character, DEA agent Steve Murphy, will also have a challenging role to play as much as Wagner Moura's Pablo Escobar.

"There is no official synopsis yet for the second season of "Narcos" given that there are about six months to go before its premiere," the article continued. "Reports say that the DEA agent will amp up his mission to bring down Escobar and put an end to the Medellin cartel."

It would be inevitable to see Escobar's death in "Narcos" season 2 as fans already saw a great extent of his rise to power in the first season. As many argued, there won't be a lot to show in the upcoming run than the kingpin's fall and demise.

However, many are speculating that that could be a great way for Netlfix to turn the show into an anthology featuring drug lords that assumed Escobar's position after his death.

"If Netflix is clever about it, season 2 could be the perfect gateway into a new story, wrapping up Escobar's tale and transforming Narcos into an anthology series with a new focus every season (or two), like American Crime Story," Movie Pilot reported.

"Not only would that keep Narcos fresh long after Escobar is dead and buried, it would also allow the series to tap into themes so far unexplored, like the impact of the thriving cocaine trade on low-income neighbourhoods of the US' biggest cities, or the struggles of the political elite to stay on top of the war on drugs."
