The Gringo Hunters OTT Release Date: In a time when crime thrillers are flooding streaming platforms, this Mexican thriller offers something you haven¡¯t seen before. It flips the usual narrative, puts Mexico front and centre, and tells the story of a real elite police unit that does one job: track down American fugitives hiding across the border and send them back home to face justice. The Gringo Hunters is all set to premiere on Netflix on July 9, 2025.
What is The Gringo Hunters all about?
At the heart of the show is a fascinating, little-known reality. Based on journalist Kevin Sieff¡¯s eye-opening article for The Washington Post, the show follows Mexico¡¯s International Liaison Unit, often referred to as the ¡°Gringo Hunters.¡± These are officers whose job is to locate U.S. nationals who cross into Mexico to escape criminal charges back home.
For years, these fugitives believed they could vanish into Tijuana or Mexico City, but this police unit has been proving them wrong, one arrest at a time.
The Gringo Hunters¡¯ cast and crew
The Gringo Hunters is led by Harold Torres, known for his intense performances in ZeroZeroZero. He¡¯s joined by Mayra Hermosillo from Thursday¡¯s Widows, who plays Gloria. Alongside them, you¡¯ll see Manuel Masalva (Narcos: Mexico), Jos¨¦ Mar¨ªa Yazpik, and a wide mix of actors from both sides of the border, including Sebastian Roch¨¦, Eric Nelsen, Jessica Lindsey, and Tyler Young.
Behind the scenes, the show is in solid hands. The series is co-directed by a talented bunch - Alonso Alvarez, Natalia Beristain, Adrian Grunberg, and Jimena Montemayor. The writing is led by Jorge Dorantes, with executive producers like Ron Howard, Brian Grazer, and Tony Hernandez attached. The production is backed by Woo Films, Redrum, and Imagine Entertainment, with Netflix and The Washington Post both in on the collaboration.
