We’ve been waiting a long time for Sicario 3, but nothing solid has happened yet. So here’s a fresh idea — what if we got a Sicario TV series instead?
Not just any series — but a prequel that shows what happened before the first movie. Think about it: the story of Alejandro, Matt Graver, and the cartels has so many layers. A series could go deeper into their pasts and explain how everything started.
Why a Prequel Series Makes Sense
Right now, everyone from the original movies — like Emily Blunt, Benicio del Toro, Josh Brolin, and even director Denis Villeneuve — is super busy. That’s part of the reason Sicario 3 keeps getting delayed.
But Taylor Sheridan, who wrote the first movie, has become one of the biggest names in TV. He created hit shows like Yellowstone, 1883, and Tulsa King. He knows how to write strong, emotional stories for TV — and the Sicario world fits his style perfectly.
What the Series Could Show Us
Here are some cool stories a prequel could tell:
- Alejandro’s Early Life: We could see what happened to his family and how he went from being a normal man to a cold-blooded hitman.
- Matt Graver’s CIA Career: How did he become such a powerful (and scary) government agent? What missions changed him?
- Cartel Wars: The show could follow different drug cartels fighting for power in Mexico and how the U.S. government secretly got involved.
- Behind the Scenes of the Drug War: The series could show secret operations that shaped the drug war years before the movies.
New Cast, Same Dark World
The show wouldn’t need the original actors, although it’d be awesome to see them in quick flashbacks. Instead, it could use younger actors to show earlier versions of Alejandro and Graver.
With Sheridan’s writing and today’s streaming platforms like Paramount+, Netflix, or HBO — this series could be a big hit.

Final Thoughts
The Sicario movies gave us a dark, intense look into the war on drugs. While a third movie may or may not happen, a prequel series could be the perfect way to keep the story alive.
There’s so much more to explore — and we’d love to see it.
