Netflix has released the first full trailer for _Narcos,_ an [upcoming 10-episode drama](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/06/24/game-thrones-actor-gets-premiere-date-netflix-narco-series "undefined") about famed drug kingpin Pablo Escobar. Based on the true story of real-life DEA agents Javier Peña (Pascal) and Steve Murphy (Boyd Holbrook), _Narcos_ follows the agents as they chase down Escobar (Wagner Moura) during the height of his 1980s Medellín cartel. “We had no idea what we were in for,” Murphy says. Directed by Jose Padilha (_Elite Squad_), the historical drama also stars newcomer Stephanie Sigman, soon to be seen as the newest Bond girl in the upcoming 007 film _Spectre_. _Narcos_ premieres on Netflix on Aug. 28. _This_ [_article_](http://www.ew.com/article/2015/07/15/narcos-trailer-netflix "undefined") _originally appeared on_ [_EW.com_](http://www.ew.com "undefined") ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3959341/netflix-narcos-first-trailer/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3959341/netflix-narcos-first-trailer/"},"headline":"Watch the First Trailer for Netflix's Drug-Cartel Drama Narcos","datePublished":"2015-07-15T19:20:54.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T09:17:04.145Z","description":"The show chronicles the story of famed drug kingpin Pablo Escobar","url":"https://time.com/3959341/netflix-narcos-first-trailer/","keywords":["Television","Netflix","Trailer","DEA","drug"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt333093e5d3d7b111/69885b0e0a4a22a2029c5298/narco.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Kelly Connolly / Entertainment Weekly"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt333093e5d3d7b111/69885b0e0a4a22a2029c5298/narco.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"narco","caption":"","creditText":"Netflix","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3959341/netflix-narcos-first-trailer/","name":"Watch the First Trailer for Netflix's Drug-Cartel Drama Narcos"}}]}] ```
