Drug Squad Season 2 Release Date
When this series was planned, they hoped for a better future of this series. Netflix had bigger plans but it didn’t always go your way. Critically the first season was not a big hit, there were plot holes, unnecessarily making the episodes long, I mean 1 hour for an episode was way too much. The audience on the other hand likes some of it, like the dialogues, and acting by casts.
After having an average first season Netflix has decided to stop the show. The producers’ Warner Bros. Pictures have agreed that this show is not a big profit. While making the show, everyone expected that it could give excitement and money as the show Narcos have done with an almost similar theme but Narcos was way better, the plot of Narcos was well written.
So, the conclusion is that the show’s creators have decided not to continue the show, hence the show is canceled.

Bruno Lopez, a detective with the national police, contemplates how things have changed in Spain since Franco’s time, and then collapses after being shot in the gut. He thinks that how this drug squad didn’t even exist six months ago, as he lies there losing consciousness.

As they’re doing so, they receive the information that two men have committed an armed robbery in a casino. Eventually, the chase takes place between the suave Leo Villa, who interrupted his sex to answer the phone, and the cerebral Martin Pulido, whom Bruno calls “The Hippie”.
