The recordings are currently being made in Mexico. Last season we all believed that Aurelio had hit rock bottom, since his body was buried. We saw his funeral and, together with the Casillas, many of us mourned his departure, however it seems that this was only the beginning, since the coffin will be opened in this new season and apparently we will see the rebirth of the authentic Lord of the Skies, who is determined not only to return, but to recover what belongs to him, good or bad.

For the new season, on the other hand, the actors Rubén Cortada and Africa Zavala also join the cast. and Yuri Vargas as new recurring characters.
The star cast is completed by Maricela González, Karla Carrillo, Thalí García, Alan Slim, Karen Sandoval, Denia Agalianou, Carlos Corona, Daniel Martínez, Elsy Reyes, José Sedek, Wendy de los Cobos, Roberto Escobar, Sebastián González, Brenda Hanst, Daniel Martínez Campos, Renata Manterola, Mimi Morales, Jorge Cárdenas, among others.
“We are extremely proud of this project that marks the first production carried out in our new Telemundo Global unit. Studios in Mexico,” said Karen Barroeta, EVP of Production and Development for Telemundo Global Studios. “Like the millions of fans of El Señor de los Cielos, we are very excited to have Rafa back on our screen alongside a top-notch cast. It’s been an exciting seven seasons, and this eighth season has been created to once again delight audiences with an overflowing drama packed with more emotion and action than ever.”
A very important fact about what we will see in this return to life of The Lord of the Heavens, the public is not the only one who knows that Aurelio Casillas is alive, the DEA also knows the best kept secret in the desert, the Lord of the Skies is more alive than ever and determined to assume power again. Aurelio has woken up and it seems that what feeds his life now is his thirst for revenge.
