Everyone is after Pablo Escobar in Netflix's new 'Narcos' season 2 trailer

By


Netflix has made no secret of the fact that Pablo Escobar’s death will be part of season 2 of the crime series Narcos, but knowing the outcome doesn’t take away from the suspenseful, action-packed story. In fact, the streamer has embraced the mystery of who actually killed the infamous drug kingpin, and that is the focal point of the latest trailer.

The preview kicks off with Escobar’s escape from prison and the aftermath of his renewed freedom. Life outside prison is clearly far from safe for a man with so many enemies, though. “Now that Pablo was home, everyone wanted payback,” we’re told during the trailer.

As history indicates, the threats to Escobar in the final months of his life were very real (hence his death), but the trailer really drives that point home. We see multiple groups with their sights set on him, including the DEA, the Cali Cartel, Los Pepes, and the Search Bloc. Each group seems to be working a different angle, and the preview is full of threats, shootouts, explosions, and heart-pumping action. As we’re told, Escobar’s “days are numbered,” and it looks like each one will be a battle.

With a single bullet removed and pointing to his forehead, it reminds viewers of his fate, both in real life and the TV series. The accompanying tweet also alludes to his death and the question of who was responsible.

The march to war unfolded over many years in season 1, but now there's only room for one person on the Iron Throne.

Humanity faces the Fall of Reach in new Halo season 2 trailer
Master Chief's reflection appears in his helmet in a scene from Halo season 2.

One of the most common complaints about the first season of Paramount+'s Halo is that it didn't feel enough like the hit video game series that spawned a franchise. Thankfully, the new trailer for Halo season 2 seems to be addressing that by filling the screen with epic sci-fi combat that even extends into space. It also appears that the show has reached a pivotal moment in the history of the Halo universe: The Fall of Reach. Within the games and the show, Reach is the name of a human colony in the 26th century, and its devastation was one of humanity's darkest hours. That's why Master Chief Petty Officer John-117 (Pablo Schreiber) is going to light the way for mankind's survival.
