Read on for the low-down.<\/p> <p>Explaining the decision to end the series at this stage, co-creator Carlo Bernard recently explained that it seemed like a natural stopping point in terms of the story he and former showrunner Eric Newman set out to tell \u2013 adding that they\u00a0 \u201cdon\u2019t want to repeat\u201d themselves.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI saw this season as an origin story of the modern world that we live in,\u201d Bernard told <a href=\"\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/tv\/tv-features\/narcos-mexico-final-season-3-netflix-2-1235042502\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">The Hollywood Reporter<\/a>. \u201cFor me, it felt like bringing the show up to that spot where we now recognise, for better or for worse, made sense as a place to stop it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added: \u201cThe 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\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis season, where the old order of that first generation of Mexican cartels is swept aside, we usher in this more violent, chaotic world that, unfortunately, really reflects the world that we live in today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The good news for fans of the show is that while there might not be any more Narcos to look forward to, Bernard and Newman are in development on another project that deals with related subject matter.<\/p>\n<p>The pair are working on a Limited Series focusing on Colombian drug queenpin Griselda Blanco \u2013 who was a key figure in Miami\u2019s drug wars during the 1980s \u2013\u00a0with Modern Family star Sofia Vergara set to take on the lead role.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Narcos: Mexico seasons 1-3 are streaming now on Netflix.
