El Chapo Season 4 Release Date

Unfortunately, as per the statement given by the creator of the series, Silvana Aguirre, the probability is there will be no fourth season of the series after the series concluded in 2018. In an interview, he said “This season sees the culmination of the journey the characters of El Chapo and Don Sol started in season one.

It has been a great challenge to tell this important story with all its complexities and nuances. We have been privileged to see the audience’s reaction around the world and the success of the series to date is a testament to the incredibly talented team that worked on the show in the past three years.”

El Chapo Season 4 Plot

Let’s take a quick recap of the events that happened in the earlier seasons before getting into the prospective synopsis of the fourth season. As we know, the main story focuses on the journey of Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman being a drug addict.

He began his career with a very low position in the Guadalajara cartel which was originated by Felix Gallardo before he became the leader of the dreaded Sinaloa cartel. But, like many of the other citizens of Mexico, El Chapo also took birth in severe poverty. When he was young his father used to thrash him, who threw all his family wealth on women and drinking alcohol.

El Chapo grew up while consuming marijuana as the business of weed in Mexico was the most significant drug business before the Guadalajara cartel shifted to cocaine and moved in with the Medellin and Cali cartels in Colombia. 

In the end, El Chapo’s era was all over when he was caught and sentenced to United States prison. For those who don’t know, we would like to clarify that the not-so-famous drug lord’s trial began recently and made the highlights also. Nobody ever dared to disrespect El Chapo because of his cruel behavior which also proved to be one of the reasons behind his journey from a low-level member to the leader that too in such a world where a good friend can attempt to kill you from the back only like a rival.

We guess that the fourth season if it happens, will be continuing the same synopsis though the hope is very low that there will be any further renewal to the series.

Since even the renewal and production are under question as of now so we wonder if we will see any trailer soon. 

Conclusion

Ultimately, since the series is a biography and as said by creators there won’t be any fourth season, we can only hope for some positive news if the makers get on to their decision. We will update you with everything on the subject until then stay tuned.
