AN ALL NEW EPISODE OF BOUNDARY-BREAKING ORIGINAL SERIES "EL CHAPO" AIRS ON SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 24 ON UNIVISION NETWORK

Season 2 Premiere of "El Chapo" Made Univision No. 3 Network Among Young Audiences Regardless of Language on Sunday Night

Season two of Univision and Story House Entertainment's original series "El Chapo" continues with an all new episode on Sunday, September 24 at 10 PM ET/PT on Univision Network with English subtitles. The gripping new season, which premiered Sunday to 3.4 million Total Viewers 2+ who tuned in to all or part of the one-hour broadcast, reveals the critical role corrupt government officials play in aiding El Chapo's rise over his rival cartel bosses. Viewers will also begin to see how his quest to become the leader of the Sinaloa Cartel, the most powerful criminal organization in the world, impacts the lives of those closest to him-including his family.

In the second episode: El Chapo bribes prison authorities at Puente Grande to obtain his freedom. His jailbreak triggers a media scandal that magnifies his myth even more. When the DEA arrest his brother El Polo, El Chapo attempts to make a deal with Don Sol.

"El Chapo" is the first co-production between Netflix and Story House Entertainment, the content development and production unit of Fusion Media Group (FMG). Season two will debut globally on Netflix at a later date to be announced.

Over the course of three seasons, the ripped-from-the-headlines drama explores the life story of Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman over a span of three decades-from 1985, when he was a low-level member of the Guadalajara Cartel, his rise to power as the leader of the Sinaloa Cartel and his ultimate downfall.

The series stars Marco de la O who greatly transformed himself for the role of El Chapo; Humberto Busto as Attorney Conrado Sol aka "Don Sol," a key political party figure; Juan Carlos Olivas as El G�ero, one of El Chapo's partners; Alejandro Aguilar as To�o, El Chapo's main assassin; Rolf Petersen as Ramon, rival cartel leader; Hernan Romo as Benjamin, rival cartel leader; Diego Vasquez as Ismael, one of El Chapo's most trusted partners; Juliette Pardau as Graciela, El Chapo's second wife; Roberto Uscanga as El Arriero, brother and partner of El Chapo; Antonio De La Vega as Arturo Bl, brother and partner of El Chapo; Harold Torres as El Cano, the leader of Emes, the largest rival cartel to El Chapo's operation this season; Juan Pablo de Santiago as Franco Sebastian; Laura Osma as Elba, El Chapo's third wife; and Hector Munoz as Moreno, El Chapo's son.

'El Chapo' is created by Silvana Aguirre Zegarra and Carlos Contreras and produced by Daniel Posada. The second season is directed by five talented directors from four countries: Ernesto Contreras (México), Carlos Moreno (Colombia), Hammudi Al-Rahmoun (Spain), Daniel and Diego Vega (Peru). Christian Gabela is the General Manager of Story House Entertainment.
