"Narcos" has been renewed for two more seasons, and with the death of Pablo Escobar (Wagner Moura) in season 2, the show is going to delve into a different story for season 3. With a new setting and plot comes new characters, and actor Nicholas Gonzalez has been cast for a recurring role.

According to Deadline, he will be portraying a character named Lopez. Similar to Murphy (Boyd Holbrook) and Pena (Pedro Pascual), this new character is going to be a DEA agent, one that is capable at his job and already well experienced.

Fans of the actor will recognize him as Detective Vic Furey on "Pretty Little Liars" and as Dante Ramon, the elder brother of Cisco Ramon (Carlos Valdes), on "The Flash." It is uncertain at this point if he will be one of the main characters the show will follow or if, like seasons 1 and 2, a lot of focus will be on the Cali Cartel leaders.

Back in September, showrunner Eric Newman explained that the show would delve into the dealings of the Cali Cartel, the group that picked up the pieces from the Medellin Cartel that Escobar left behind, following his death. However, these four leaders did not survive long, and it was their deaths that soon led the drug industry out of Colombia and into nations like Mexico, where it is still a prominent problem today.

"There are four Cali godfathers: brothers Gilberto and Miguel (Francisco Denis), Pacho Herrera (Alberto Ammann), all of whom we've met, and then there is a fourth named "Chepe," who is a sort of fascinating and colorful guy," Newman told The Hollywood Reporter at the time.

No official release date has been announced for "Narcos" season 3, although it is widely speculated to premiere on Netflix in September 2017, based on the premiere dates of seasons 1 and 2.
