After Pablo Escobar's (Wagner Moura) death, the show's creator Eric Newman revealed that there are still many stories to unfold in "Narcos" Season 3. However, it looks like Sebastian Marroquin, the son of Escobar is not happy with the way the show told the story of his father.
After Netflix confirmed "Narcos" Season 3 and 4, Newman talked about the details of where the show is leading after the drug kingpin's death. Many are wondering how the show will continue since the main character was already killed in the Season 2 finale. Newman clarified that he knew right from the beginning that the show will continue even without Escobar.
"From the beginning when we decided to call the show Narcos and not Pablo Escobar, I had always had in mind to tell the continuing story of cocaine," Newman told The Hollywood Reporter. "Jose [Padilha], Doug [Miro], Carlo [Bernard] and I wanted to tell a story about the drug war and never just about one person or organization. We had always planned on continuing on."
"Narcos" Season 3 will see the birth of Cali cartel, the organization that dominated the cocaine industry replacing the Medellin cartel built by Escobar. Viewers will witness the difference between the two cocaine cartels, the systematic effects of cocaine in Colombia and corruption. More different from Medellin, the Cali cartel is more submerged into the political and the economic system.
The Cali cartel will reign in the new season with new drug kingpins, the Rodriguez-Orejuela brothers, Gilberto (Damian Alcazar) and Miguel Rodriguez-Orejuela (Francisco Denis). They will join forces with Jose Santacruz-Londono to form the next biggest cocaine empire. The group will be be labeled as the "kings of cocaine."
Although the cartel drama received recognitions with Golden Globe award nominations this year, Marroquin finds the Netflix show deceptive. Ahead of "Narcos" Season 3, he called out "Narcos" for showing inaccuracies in depicting his father's life. In a social media post, he listed 28 outright lies about the Emmy Award nominated show, according to Telegraph.
Escobar's son pointed out that his father never attacked anyone in the family, particularly his parents or the rival drug lord Gilberto Rodriquez's daughter at her wedding. He also called out the show's claim of the drug lord's favorite local sports team, which he thinks is a small matter to be falsely reported.
Marroquin, an architect has been very vocal with his dad's story. He appeared in an Argentine documentary film "Sins of My Father" in 2009. In 2014, he wrote a book titled "Pablo Escobar: My Father," where he laid down all the things he know about his father's history.
Newman declined to comment who among the characters will remain in "Narcos" Season 3. Season 2 is currently streaming on Netflix. Check out the show's Season 3 teaser:
