Forget 'Narcos,' Hulu's New Pablo Escobar Series Is Your Next Crime Fix [Exclusive]

Pablo Escobar Gaviria has almost become a mythical figure thanks to the vast media coverage of him since his death in 1993. Much has been explored about the infamous Colombian narco on many scripted shows, movies, and documentaries. It seems that everything to be said about Escobar has been exhausted, but Hulu's new series, Dear Killer Nannies, has another angle to explore. Collider can exclusively unveil the trailer for the series premiering on April 1. Dear Killer Nannies is told from the perspective of Escobar's son, Juan Pablo "Juanmpi" Escobar, the surviving son of the drug kingpin.

Dear Killer Nannies explores Juan Pablo's perspective as a young child and a teenager, exposed to danger as his father's notoriety grows. This danger is shown through what his father called "nannies," a group of men tasked with looking after the child in addition to their other, more nefarious duties. The character is played by three different actors: Janer Villareal (teenage Juan Pablo), Miguel Tamayo (young Juan Pablo), Miguel Ángel García (young Juan Pablo). And for the role of Escobar, the series enlists comedy and acting legend John Leguizamo. Other cast members include Laura Rodríguez (Victoria Henao), Juanita Molina (Angie), Julián Zuluaga (Rodri), Rafael Zea (El Dorado), Danharry Colorado (Tina), Julián Bustamante (Yerry), Julián Díaz (Lagaña), Melanie Dell’ Olmo (Andrea Ochoa), Andrés Delgado (Kiss), and Carmen Electra (Margarete).

Juan Pablo Escobar Tells the Story of His 'Dear Killer Nannies'

The trailer above previews the events in the series, narrated by Juan Pablo. While he acknowledges that a lot has been said about his father, his childhood in such a carefree world was different, and his nannies are the perfect examples. Other children play silly games with their nannies, but for Juan Pablo, his nannies were more like assassins who babysat as a side gig. As a result, Juan Pablo was exposed to various disturbing things that a child should never have experienced, including torture and gruesome murders. These were a precursor to what was coming.

Even though his mother tries to advocate for him, she can't hold a candle to the powerful Pablo Escobar, whose empire's growth shows no signs of slowing down. As he becomes a larger target, Juan Pablo is forced into his father's war. As a child, living life on the edge both excited and scared Juan Pablo. He admired his father just as much as he feared him. Juan Pablo, now going by Sebastián Marroquín, has been on the front lines of correcting the media's "heroic" portrayals of his father. Maybe with Dear Killer Nannies, viewers will see the legendary figure through his eyes.

Dear Killer Nannies premieres on April 1 on Hulu. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates and watch our exclusive trailer above.
