Diego Luna plays Félix Gallardo, who unified the loose and disorganised traffickers to build an empire.
Meanwhile Michael Pena played DEA agent Kiki Camarena, who moved from California to Guadalajara with his wife and young son to take up a new post, and, a huge challenge.
Diego, 40, looked smart in jeans and a brown suede jacket, while co-star Fernanda Urrejola - who plays Maria Elvira wowed in a low cut black lacy top and black wide legged trousers.
Teresa Ruiz - who plays Isabella Bautista - also opted for black, and looked stunning in a one-shouldered satin dress.

The first series ended on a bombshell as Félix and Kiki's cat and mouse game ended in Kiki being abducted, tortured and murdered.

He is in charge of Operation Layenda, a task force working to bring those responsible for Kiki's death to justice, and this will be the focus of season two.

“What happened in Guadalajara gave birth to the first cartel. From that, others would follow.
"And the violence and money and drugs, they just f***ing explode. It changed the DEA, too. Maybe it woke us up, I don’t know.
"But it’s where the first shot was fired, the one that started the drug war. And after that, none of it would be the same. How could it be?
At the end of the episode, he added: “We knew we were in a war, now it was our turn. Pretty soon, they were gonna know, they were in one too.”
Narcos: Mexico season two premieres on Netflix on Thursday, February 13.
