Don't you just love a good heist drama? Well, Netflix has just what you need in its upcoming series Bandidos. It's scheduled to be released on Wednesday, March 13, 2024, and we've shared all you need to know about it right below.

We first learned of Bandidos back in April 2023, when Netflix announced that the Mexican show was officially in production. Pablo Tébar, who's known for writing for the TV shows Tierra de lobos, Serve and Protect and Diablero, was revealed to be the creator and showrunner. In addition, Stacy Perskie was announced to be producing. We later found out that Adrian Grunberg, who's best known for helming the movies Rambo: Last Blood and Get the Gringo, would be directing. He, along with Mark Holder, Christine Holder, and Andrew Wilson, are executive producers.

It's a thriller series about an underwater heist. I don't know about you, but this already seems like an interesting watch. It follows a crew of skilled misfits as they venture on a daring quest underwater in search of a long-hidden Mayan treasure. It's called the Snake King's treasure, and they're not the only ones after it.
