The teaser also highlights Narcos: Mexico's 1980s time period and Mexico setting after the drama was previously set in Columbia.

"What I'm doing here. I'm building an empire," Luna says.

Narcos: Mexico, from showrunner and executive producer Eric Newman, will explore the origins of the modern drug war. The real-life Guadalajara Cartel was one of the biggest narcos in the history of Mexico and the founder of the modern Mexican drug trade.
