Narcos Mexico first hit our screens in 2015.

Since then, each year, we’ve had a good supply of DEA agents tracking down Colombian drug lords.

Now, Netflix brings us Narcos: Mexico – a spinoff of the original crime series.

So, is Narcos: Mexico related to Narcos? Or is the storyline completely new?

What is Narcos Mexico About?

Season 4 of Narcos was released Friday, November 16th 2018.

Whereas Narcos season 1 started off in 1979, the newest spin-off series begins six years later in Guadalajara, 1985.

Narcos: Mexico discovers the birth of Mexico’s drug war.

It mainly follows DEA agent Kiki Camarena in his bid to hunt down Mexico’s drug kingpins.

Still, the narcos are united by greed, driven by revenge and addicted to power – no change there.

Is Narcos: Mexico Related to Narcos?

Whereas the first three Narcos series followed the Medellin and Cali cartels, season 4 is centralised around Mexico.

However, as you’ll see episode by episode, some familiar faces creep into season 4 and the links between the three cartels become clear.

The Mexican, Cali and Medellin cartels all existed at the same time at one point in history – and season 4 gives you a chance to see them all in action.

WATCH NARCOS MEXICO ON NETFLIX FROM FRIDAY NOVEMBER 16TH ON NETFLIX.
