"The story of Pablo Escobar and the famous Medellin Cartel is being dramatised in a new 10-episode Netflix Original Series. Narcos will be released on Netflix in 2015 and will star popular Brazilian actor Wagner Moura in the lead role as the famous trafficker and politician.  The series is being billed as a &amp;quot;gripping saga of blood, money and politics&amp;quot;. It will reunite Moura with director Jose Padilha (Elite Squad). &amp;quot;Our idea is to tell the true story of how cocaine became such a huge problem in the US and Europe - and how it all started here in Medellin,&amp;quot; said Padilha.  Netflix&amp;#039;s chief content officer Ted Sarandos added: &amp;quot;Jose and Wagner together created one of the most sophisticated and chilling portraits of criminality and official corruption ever in their Elite Squad movies. &amp;quot;Their version of the Escobar saga will be like nothing ever seen before.&amp;quot; Narcos will start shooting in Columbia soon.
