"Narcos" Season 3 is set to focus on the Cali Cartel rather than the life of Pablo Escobar (Wagner Moura). There are reports that Boyd Holbrook is not returning for his role as Steve Murphy in the upcoming season.
According to IB Times, "Narcos" Season 3 will feature Pablo Escobar's death. It then will move on to focus on the Cali Cartel. The Cali Cartel is led by Jose Santacruz Londonio and is with the drug cartel with his brothers Gilberto and Miguel Orejuela.
"Narcos" Season 3 is going to focus more on this new drug cartel and there may be more characters coming to the series. The upcoming season is also to feature the Mexican druglord "El Chapo." The third season of the series is currently in production.
