"Narcos," the Netflix show that chronicles the life and events of Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar and the Medellin Cartel, premieres on Friday, Aug. 28.

According to Variety, the show will be available to subscribers worldwide.

"Narcos" is produced by Gaumont International Television. The 10-episode series stars Brazilian actor Wagner Moura as Escobar and Pedro Pascal ("Games of Thrones") and Boyd Holbrook ("Gone Girl") as real-life DEA agents Steve Murphy and Javier Peña.

Other stars featured in the series include Colombian actor Juan Pablo Raba, British theater star Joanna Christie ("Once"), Stephanie Sigman (to appear in the next James Bond film, "Spectre"), Colombian actor Manolo Cardona ("Covert Affairs"), André Mattos ("Elite Squad"), Luis Guzman ("Boogie Nights") and Mexican star Ana de la Reguera ("Eastbound & Down," "Nacho Libre").

The show's creator and executive producer, Jose Padilha, also directed last year's "RoboCop" reboot. He previously worked with the show's main character, Maur, on Brazilian cop action films "Elite Squad" and "Elite Squad: The Enemy Within."

Other executive producers include Eric Newman ("Children of Men"), the team of Doug Miro and Carlos Bernard ("Sorcerer's Apprentice") and Chris Brancato ("Hannibal").

"Narcos" gives "a chronicled look at the criminal exploits of Colombian drug lord Pablo Escobar," according to IMDb. The show features stories about Colombian cocaine kingpins from the late 1980s at a time when law enforcement brutality fought to bring them down.

The infamous drug lord died nearly two decades ago, Fusion reported.

He lived in a 20-room mansion in Colombia that had a private runway for his planes filled with cocaine that he smuggled into the U.S. The mansion was a major tourist site for eight years before being demolished earlier this year.

The history of his life still lives on in the "Narcos" series and through a giant replica of a cocaine plane at his mansion.
