Netflix has announced that the second season of Narcos: Mexico will be premiering on 13 February - which, as I'm sure you've realised, is pretty damn soon.
The streaming service broke the good news on social media, telling fans: "Narcos: Mexico Season 2 premieres February 13 on Netflix."

The programme is the sister series to Netflix's acclaimed cartel crime show Narcos, which focused on the drug trade in Colombia, with the American Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) attempting to dismantle the drug trade in Latin America - largely led by infamous cartel leader Pablo Escobar.
Narcos: Mexico originally began as the fourth season of Narcos, but after seeing its success it was developed into a separate series exploring the rise of the a Mexican cartel's rise and fall during the 1980s, along with the drugs war this sparked.
Now we're onto round two, which Netflix confirmed was in the works last December.
According to The Hollywood Reporter a character called Walt Breslin (Scoot McNairy) - who was introduced in the season one finale - is set to become a major character for the second series, alongside the returning Miguel Ángel Félix Gallardo, the leader of the Guadalajara cartel played by Diego Luna.
The series will continue to follow the corruption on both sides of the US-Mexican border, with showrunner Eric Newman telling THR: "To understand the current level of drug violence in Mexico you have to understand how it all started, and truly grasp America's integral role in it.
