Netflix is readying viewers for the premiere of its newest original series. The streaming video-on-demand platform dropped the official trailer for its crime drama Narcos, which premieres on August 28, 2015.
The Narcos series trailer introduces viewers to the lavish yet dangerous lifestyle of infamous Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar (played by Elite Squad’s Wagner Moura). The Netflix original series will follow the story of Escobar and other high-level cocaine kingpins of the 1980s as U.S. law enforcement officers try to take them down.
Netflix originally announced the production of Narcos back in April 2014. Moura was already on board as Escobar, along with his previous Elite Squad director José Padilha. In June, Game of Thrones’s Pedro Pascal joined the cast, which also includes Boyd Holbrook, Juan Pablo Raba, Joanna Christie, and Stephanie Sigman. Doug Miro, Eric Newman, Carlo Bernard, and Chris Brancato serve as executive producers.
Produced by Gaumont Television, Narcos will be released on Netflix’s platform on August 28.
