Likely due to the overwhelming success of Netflix’s hit series Narcos, VH1 is set to capitalize off its popularity with a new series of their own, entitled Cartel Crew.
Promoted as depicting ‘the real life after Narcos,’ the series follows the descendants of former notable figures in drug cartels, as they look to move on with their lives as they look to make sense of their family’s legacies.
The trailer opens by saying that the previous “generation of Narcos are long gone, but the culture remains and so do we, now it’s our turn to take this city back… the children of the cartel.” One participant in the series, Michael Corleone Blanco, proclaims that his mother, Griselda Blanco aka the ‘Cocaine Godmother,’ “invented the cocaine industry as we know it.”
