Netflix have confirmed that they’re pressing ahead with a kinda-reboot of their hit drug cartel drama for Narcos Season 4.

Michael Peña (Crash, Ant-Man) and Diego Luna (Rogue One, Y Tu Mamá También) will be the new powerhouse stars, and filming is already underway in Mexico, which is where Narcos Season 4 will be set. No details of the actors’ roles have been released yet, but we’ll keep you up to date.

“We always knew that we would get to Mexico eventually,” showrunner Eric Newman admitted to The Hollywood Reporter. “A key team comprised of myself and the guys I really trust and work very closely with — [director] Andi Baiz, [co-creators] Carlo Bernard and Doug Miro — have been discussing how to best transition to Mexico as early as season two. We decided on the Guadalajara cartel because it represents the beginning of the modern Mexican drug trade. It makes sense to start there.”

Newman also added that “The design was always to finish out the Colombian story and the players that we’ve come to know there, and then start anew in Mexico.”

But should you be wondering if we’ve seen the last of season 3 star Pedro Pascal, the answer is…well, let’s just say ‘hazy’.

“I’d like to think that he still hasn’t made up his mind about whether he wants to come back. It is after all an intersecting universe — the Mexicans did a lot of business with the Colombians,” Newman went on, but wouldn’t give a straight ‘yes’ or ‘no’ on Pascal’s return, only confirming that season 4 is “not about him.”

Hmm.

Here’s a teaser for the next season…
