Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny made his acting debut in Narcos: Mexico Season 3. As a continuation of the Netflix series Narcos, the spinoff follows the development of the Mexican drug trade. While the series cemented his acting debut, the musician has some projects in the works. Here’s everything you need to know about Bad Bunny’s upcoming acting roles.
Who does Bad Bunny play in ‘Narcos: Mexico’ Season 3?
When Netflix unveiled a first look at the cast for Narcos: Mexico Season 3, fans were surprised to see Latin superstar Bad Bunny on the list. In the final season, Bad Bunny portrayed Arturo “Kitty” Paez, a member of Ramon Arellano Felix’s gang called the Narco Juniors – a group of middle and upper-class Tijuana teenagers who want a taste of the cartel fame, money, and overall lifestyle.
Bad Bunny has several acting projects in the works
Although Bad Bunny played a minor role in Narcos: Mexico, he certainly made a lasting impression. Many viewers found themselves thoroughly impressed by his acting skills, especially since this marked Bad Bunny’s television debut. Now, fans will be happy to hear the Latin artist has several acting projects in the works.
According to NME, Bad Bunny joined the cast of American Sole. The drama-comedy film centers around a group of entrepreneurs that build a sneaker app. In addition, he will star alongside Pete Davidson and O’Shea Jackson Jr. In December 2020, media outlets reported that he joined the cast of Bullet Train. While there is limited information about the action film, Bad Bunny will be acting alongside Hollywood veterans Brad Pitt, Michael Shannon, and Aaron Taylor Johnson.
Will there be a ‘Narcos: Mexico’ Season 4?
Unfortunately, there will not be a Narcos: Mexico Season 4. The third season of Narcos: Mexico will conclude the Netflix series. According to Newsweek, the streaming service renewed the show for a third season. However, Narcos: Mexico Season 3 will be the last installment. The platform didn’t give a reason behind the decision. But, it’s worth noting its predecessor, Narcos, ended after three seasons. So, it’s a possibility the creators chose to end Narcos: Mexico with the same number of seasons.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Narcos: Mexico showrunner Carlo Bernard said the final installment would delve into the “origin story” of the modern drug war. “I saw this season as an origin story of the modern world that we live in,” he said.
Bernard continued, “For me, it felt like bringing the show up to that spot where we now recognize, for better or for worse, made sense as a place to stop it. The show has been able to lift the curtains and show you how this thing began, how it evolved. Not to say that other stories wouldn’t be compelling going forward. But to me, stopping at the moment where we had delivered the world that we now live in today made sense, thematically and narratively.”
All three seasons of Narcos: Mexico is streaming now on Netflix.
