How many seasons does the original Narcos series have? The original Narcos series has three seasons.
The series ran from 2015 through 2017 and contains 30 episodes in total, with 10 episodes in each season. Seasons one and two center mainly on Pablo Escobar and the Medellín Cartel, while season three shifts its attention to the Cali Cartel after Escobar’s death.
This three-season structure is sometimes confused with the larger Narcos franchise. Netflix initially renewed Narcos for a fourth season, but the project was reworked into Narcos: Mexico, a separate companion series with a new setting and largely new characters. It is therefore not counted as season four of the original show.
Another common mistake is adding the three seasons of Narcos: Mexico to the original series and calling that a six-season run of Narcos. The franchise has six seasons altogether, but the original Narcos title itself has only three.
