Second Full Trailer For Netflix's NARCOS Series Introduces Pedro Pascal

Most Americans probably aren't too familiar with director Jose Padilha's work, but if you're into action movies, you may recognize Padilha as the man behind the Brazilian corruption films Elite Squad and the superior Elite Squad 2. After a jaunt into Hollywood filmmaking with the RoboCop remake, Padilha is returning to what he does best: gritty dramas about cops and criminals.

Padilha is directing every episode of the first season of Narcos, the new Netflix series created by executive producer Chris Brancato. It stars Wagner Moura as cartel head honcho Pablo Escobar and Boyd Holbrook as DEA agent Steve Murphy, and this newest trailer introduces us to the character of Javier Pena, played by Game of Thrones star Pedro Pascal. It's another slick trailer that definitely has me excited to see where this series goes and how Padilha, Brancato, and the cast are going to put their own spin on a story that's been told many times in the past twenty years.

Narcos arrives on Netflix starting August 28th.
