This crime drama follows a notorious drug kingpin from his early work within a powerful cartel in the 1980s through his rise to influence during the 1990s and the consequences that catch up with him by 2016.

How to watch El Chapo
El Chapo is included with two different subscriptions — Netflix and REELZ+ Amazon Channel — so if you already pay for any of them there is nothing extra to buy.
Netflix streams it in 4K; the others top out at HD.
El Chapo ended in 2018 after three seasons and 32 episodes, so what is listed above is the complete run — nothing new is coming.
Created by Daniel Posada, Silvana Aguirre Zegarra and Carlos Contreras and starring Marco de la O, Valentina Acosta, Juan Carlos Olivas and Humberto Busto; it originally aired on Univision.
