The chase begins and this time they want “Aurelio Casillas” alive or dead in a new season of Telemundo’s highly-rated “El Señor de los Cielos.” With more than 300 crew members, shot in Mexico and Istanbul, Turkey, and a star-studded cast, this season is the most ambitious ever for the Super Series™. Although “Aurelio Casillas” (Rafael Amaya) has shown his skills as an extraordinary hunter, in this new season he understands that in order to avoid becoming a victim of his victims, he must become a fugitive, especially from the fearsome Colombian capo “El Cabo” (Robinson Díaz) who comes for revenge at any cost, for the death of his son.

“El Señor de Los Cielos” is a Telemundo Global Studios original production, recorded in Mexico by Argos Television, written by Luis Zelkowicz and directed by Carlos Villegas, Miguel Varoni, and Moisés Urquidez, under the executive production of Mariana Iskandarani.
