Disney Plus has released all eight episodes of 'Dear Killer Nannies', a crime drama inspired by the life of Pablo Escobar's son, Sebastián Marroquín. The series, co-created by Marroquín, offers a unique perspective on the notorious drug lord's family life.
Marroquín, born Juan Pablo Escobar, changed his name after his father's death in 1993 and left Medellín to distance himself from the cartel's crimes. He was 16 when he witnessed his father's final moments before being shot by law enforcement.
The show follows young Juan, nicknamed Juampi, as he gradually realises the truth about his father, played by John Leguizamo. Juampi and his sister grew up in luxury but under constant surveillance by Escobar's hitmen.
Co-creator Sebastián Ortega emphasised that the series is not about drug trafficking. 'There have been so many stories about narcos. Too many,' he told Variety. 'It’s not about Pablo Escobar – it’s about his son.' The Guardian gave the show four stars, calling it a 'surprisingly gut-punching' watch that blends violence with tragicomedy.
'Dear Killer Nannies' is available to stream on Disney Plus in the UK and Hulu in the US.
