With the help of the ‘Narcos’ show runner, there will be a El Chapo series coming to the TV soon. The series will be called #Cartel. It is being put together by the History Channel says president Jana Bennet.
The History Channel says they will explore how social media is the key to drug cartels recruiting and fighting against rival cartels.
“The series would follow kingpin “El Chapo” Guzman’s rise to power. It’s a look inside the stranger-than-fiction world of drug cartels who use social media to maintain their image, recruit new members and threaten rivals. Unlike drug lords of decades past, El Chapo has fan followings, with relationships in the entertainment and music industry that stretch past the Mexican border and into the United States. “#Cartel” is a story of power, money, sex and the human cost of the drug wars like none ever seen on television.”
Chris Brancato will be writing and producing the show. He is the one who has the awesome Netflix series show about Pablo Escobar so this definitely goes hand and hand with his lane.
He says,
“The true story of El Chapo, fraught with murder, drugs, corruption and celebrity, has been and continues to be one of the most disturbing and fascinating of the past decade. Chris [Brancato] is the perfect person to bring this slice of modern history to the screen.”
This show is definitely going to be interesting.
