Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, actor Wagner Moura has confirmed that his character, Pablo Escobar, will be killed off by the end of "Narcos" season 2, which premieres this September. This is hardly a spoiler, however, as the report points out that the real world Escobar died back in 1993 at the age of 43 and this was highly publicized at the time.

According to Moura, this was going to be his last season on the show and that season 2 would start to see the fall of Escobar following his violent escape from prison. The rest of season 2 is going to portray his final 18 months in life and will end with the rooftop chase that led to his demise. Moura also states that the show will show a very vulnerable side to Escobar.

However, despite Escobar's death, the show will still be moving forward with a third season and it may be focusing on the world that Escobar left behind such as other drug dealers and the drug industry that grew thanks to his efforts. Executive producer Jose Padilha did confirm that the show will be moving on.

The show is not about Pablo," Padilha stated. "Pablo Escobar happens to be the man who created the mass business of cocaine trade. He's, for lack of a better word, the founding father of this business but the show is about cocaine. It's about drug dealers that deal cocaine. We plan on stopping when cocaine stops. I think there's a reason why we call this show 'Narcos' and not 'Pablo Escobar.' Its very much about the trade."

Padilha went on to explain that there are many other drug dealers and alliances formed throughout Escobar's lifetime and after and that any of these could become the basis for the story of season 3 and beyond. 

"Narcos" season 2 will premiere on Netflix this Sept. 2.
