Overview
- Netflix released a trailer on October 15 and confirmed the three‑episode documentary will premiere on October 29, 2026, on its platform.
- The series reconstructs the July 25, 2024 transfer in which Zambada arrived in New Mexico on a private plane with Joaquín Guzmán López and was taken into U.S. custody.
- Filmmakers Darren Foster and Miguel Fernández Flores built the investigation from exclusive interviews, archival footage and hundreds of judicial files from Mexico and the United States.
- The documentary lays out competing accounts — including claims of kidnapping, betrayal or a covert operation — and highlights questions about Joaquín Guzmán López’s role without declaring a single definitive version.
- Zambada’s detention is shown to have intensified a split inside the Sinaloa Cartel between La Mayiza and Los Chapitos, increasing violence in Sinaloa and raising cross‑border legal and diplomatic concerns.
