Miami, the city where a powerful cartel once dominated the cocaine trade in the 1990s, becomes a battleground as rival factions clash for control. By the decade’s end, the landscape shifts into two camps and a brutal struggle unfolds to seize headquarters of this illicit empire in the capital. Movistar Plus+ pushes into a second season, titled Negative, which centers on the faction’s leader and features the standout performance of Alex Garcia. New episodes premiere on a Thursday, February 22.
If the prior episode traced how the syndicate built its foothold through drug trafficking and extortion, the drama now follows a figure obsessed with reclaiming the throne lost to betrayal by trusted allies, including Fausti (Jason Day). “In the second season, the character bears the consequences of bad choices,” Garcia explains, describing a fictionalized series heavily inspired by real events and people.
“From the start, the aim was to weave a story familiar to many in Spain, then shape it through editing to fit a broader audience,” notes the actor. He and his colleagues emphasize that the performance does not imply a direct link to any real Miami figure. “The executive producers once had a relationship here, but the character was crafted by the direction and the team,” Garcia adds.
Revenge and loyalty
Revenge and loyalty converge as the six new episodes intensify the plot, bringing more murders into the mix. “If red lines are drawn to decide who stands with you and who opposes you, violence inevitably follows,” Garcia states. Marcel Borras, who portrays Rober, José Antonio’s childhood friend turned close ally, becomes a key player in the intrigue.
Even Rober is not immune to the hero’s suspicions, as Jose Antonio grows more wary of those closest to him, especially as Rober seeks more independence. “That shift is a central pivot of season two—friends and coworkers alike drift away from him,” Borràs observes. Both performers stress that Immortal, a title that hints at the hero’s luck in surviving repeated attacks, is not a glamorization of the narco figure. “After watching season one, nobody wants to emulate José Antonio. Watching season two, even less so,” García says. The narrative extends beyond the antihero’s criminal dealings to explore a complicated personal life, including moments when the protagonist faces imprisonment out of fear of being drawn into a deadly confrontation.
Apart from García and Borràs, the cast also includes Emilio Palacios, María Hervás, Teresa Riott, Jason Day, Jon Kortajarena, Claudia Pineda, Iván Massagué, and Francis Lorenzo. Additional cast members such as Irene Esser, Richard Holmes, Jaeme Vélez, Moussa Echarif, Iria del Río, and Manuel Manquiña join the lineup, expanding the ensemble as the series broadens its scope beyond its core figures.
Throughout the season, the focus remains on the tension between vengeance and loyalty, the shifting loyalties of friends and family, and the price of power in a world where alliances are fragile and danger lurks around every corner. The production draws inspiration from historical backdrops while presenting a fictionalized account shaped by the creative vision of its directors and writers.
